Waimānalo Bay Beach Park

The Waimānalo Bay Beach Park campground on O‘ahu’s stunning windward coast offers a rare blend of natural beauty and secluded charm, backed by the iconic “Sherwood Forest” ironwood grove and just steps from miles of powder-soft white sand and turquoise waters. This park uniquely combines the serene atmosphere of an unspoiled coastline with proximity to essential amenities, making it an ideal choice for campers seeking a tranquil yet accessible retreat.

The campground features ten rustic sites that bring you close to nature, supported by basic amenities such as restrooms, outdoor showers, and picnic tables. While the facilities are minimal, the breathtaking location compensates, with panoramic views of the Koʻolau Mountains and Rabbit Island offshore. The beach here is perfect for swimming, bodysurfing, and long walks, with lifeguards on duty to ensure safety. Privacy among the campsites varies due to their proximity to public areas.

Located within Waimānalo town, the campground offers convenient access to nearby attractions like Makapuʻu Point Lighthouse Trail (10 minutes), Kailua Beach (15 minutes), and Lanikai’s postcard-perfect waters (less than 20 minutes). This site is ideal for weekend getaways or short escapes, allowing campers to immerse themselves in the authenticity of Oʻahu’s less crowded side while enjoying sweeping coastal vistas and unique Hawaiian charm.
