Kuhio Beach Park is right by Waikiki Beach and it's completely easy to access and is highly walkable. It's right by shops, eateries, boutiques, bars, and more. It's also super easy to get to from a lot of hotels in the area making it a huge draw. They also have regular activities on the beach such as surf lessons, hula demonstrations, and more. It's a high traffic area so be prepared to always deal with crowds where ever you go.

How is this beach rated so highly? I assume by people who are too lazy to explore 2-5 miles in any direction for better beach. I get it though, it’s hard to rate this otherwise beautiful ocean beach with only 2 stars, but trust me - there’s literally hundreds of other beaches on the island, and they only get better than this one! This one is full of children and tourists. On the bright side, it has a sectioned off shallow area and a great view of Diamond Head. If you don’t have kids, and have a bike/scooter/car/bus pass - then do yourself a favour and find a better beach! If you want something next to a Burger King, or the Marriott hotel then this beach is for you. To be clear, if this was a beach back in Canada it would be a 9/10, but you’re literally in Hawaii. You came this far, so go look for a dope beach!

Nice area to relax within the Waikiki Beach area without being so close to all of the action. The waters are calmer and more family friendly in this area. Great vantage point to watch the sunset without objects in your view like boats, catamarans, surfers but you can still see all of them to your right. We enjoyed a beach picnic here and watched the surfers for a while then saw the sunset. If you’d like to rent a surfboard, head over to the main Waikiki Beach area and ask around for a gentleman named Uncle Tommy. He will give you the best deal on surfboard rentals, help you select a board size, AND he’ll lock up your personal belongings for you so that you don’t have to worry. Great guy who just wants people to have a good experience.

One of my favorite beaches I can chill out and play with my children. It gets crowded after noon, however comfortable with the water , in this area the ocean is shallow till breakwater which makes it easier for small children and weak wave.

Had a nice set up on beach to relax. So beautiful and relaxing. This beach has a wall built up so far out so the waves will not take over in that area and it’s perfect to swim with your families or snorkel. I seen people walking out on the wall if interested.

If you're looking for a fun beach vibe with tons of sun, sand and things to do the this is the place for you! It's not a secluded area, but rather an electric energy in the center of paradise. The cool breezes, shady trees, smells of sun tan lotion and ocean mist will make you want the day to last forever. There's tons of shopping, restaurants, water sports and even a zoo nearby. This is a must do in Waikiki.

Beautiful place to walk around next to Diamond head and along the Waikiki boardwalk. Absolutely stunning and beautiful sunsets.

Beautiful beach with nice swim area calmer waters, excellent for children with lifeguards on duty. Stunning sunsets in the evenings.

This is a very relaxing and scenic beach to swim or relax and do nothing. There are lifeguards watching the waters. The waters may be low or high tide for people who wants to swim here.

Love it, there is a stone wall that holds the waves so all the area looks like a pool, there is almost no seashells in the sand, clear water, so pretty!

A good beach where you can take a great SIT in the ocean 😹 it’s impossible to swim here but you can enjoy sunset and splash yourself with some ocean water :)

It's frankly one of the best beaches cause you can calmly swim up a long way into the ocean, enjoy suntanning, take part in surfing, and the beach is most clean. If you're only looking for one aspect though (ie only surfing, or only tanning in peace) then you might be able to find a better spot.

The first spot my husband and I hung out at the moment we got to Hawaii. I remembered being in absolute blissed being in the water, people watching, eating poke, and watching sunset by this beach. 💗

位在檀香山動物園附近的公共海灘，有專門的維護人員，不收任何費用，旁邊還有洗腳池與沖水處，鄰近商圈吃喝很方便，這裡一樣禁止飲用酒精性飲料，建議帶個陽傘、野餐墊，就能在這裡坐一整個下午，而且夕陽也超美的~ 😍 這裡的海水非常乾淨、沙灘也幾乎沒什麼垃圾，堤防內的海浪相當的平靜而且水深也不會太深，非常適合游泳、玩SUP、浮淺等，堤防外則比較有浪海水也比較深，可以玩衝浪、風帆，甚至是還有人在釣魚與潛水，海風非常的舒服，躺在沙灘上耍廢也是一個不錯的選擇。

Stunning beach with soft sand and great views. We had a photo shoot on this beach our first day in Hawaii. I suggest going earlier in the morning as it does get busier the later in the day.

I would say one of the nicer public beaches. Clean and well maintained with public bathrooms and showers. A protected area gives swimmers a sense of security.

This beach is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. Has amazing scenic views i enjoyed so much Highly recommend a day on the beach during your vacay if i could give more stars i would.

Accessible, free, walkable, and in the heart of it all, this is a beautiful beach. However, it is a central place for the many hotels in the area. It's often packed with tourists, but that also means it's easy to rent beach equipment!

Another buitifull day....

Lovely beach right in Waikiki!

Normally this place is packed with tourist, but due to covid travel restrictions this area inside the rock walls is a great place to to be in the ocean

Getting busier each day but still love to swim laps here!

Beautiful!!!

Beautiful beack.

Very calm water, you can see coral and fishes by the stonewall. Absolutely the best place to start snorkeling for little kids. If you bring some bread you can feed the schools of tiny fish…

Water is nice, the sand is not very good. Lots of homeless people, they are mostly harmless, but sometimes can be really annoying. One homeless guy was screaming non-stop for about two hours, many are under influence of drugs and look terrible. Motorcycle noise and loud music from passing cars is non-stop and loudest I have ever heard, you have to stop the conversation and wait until the motorcycle gangs go away. This noise will ruin you evening. Police does not enforce the law for illegal mufflers at all although they have one in Oahu. My personal opinion - Waikiki is worth visiting once to check it out, but do not go there for a family vacation.

Great spot. Busy but pretty!

The ocean has a wall stopping waves from coming in making the water super calm. Only little ripples get through. This place is great for kids that are learning to swim. Sand is soft enough for babies to crawl on. Water doesn't get all that deep. It's clean and clear. Need to pay for parking on the side streets.

Great calm water beach

Very nice beach but crowded. Also too many homeless people.

Great place awesome views!

Stunning! A short walk from most hotels in the area and you'll find yourself on a beautiful stretch of beach and the bluest water you'll ever see. Rent a chair and umbrealla and relax in paradise. This beach is perfect for everyone and the lagoon is the perfect place to cool off

Nice place to spend all day long! There is the beautiful beach and a lot of restaurants and stores close! It’s really hard to park, so I advise you to park at Zoo!

Amazing beach for small children. They built a rock wall to hold back the waves and the sand goes out right to the rocks. Deepest part is five feet. Great to float, swim and play catch. The beach is not too busy and is the best place to watch the sunset each night.

Great Beach, statue of prince kuhio of Hawaii near the beach. Be careful where you step because they have signs up about jellyfish (box jellyfish) and Sea Urchins and both can hurt you. Very nice and family friendly beach.

Kuhio Beach Park is right by Waikiki Beach and it's a great place walk with family and friends. It’s just a warm and friendly place to be with fiends and family! The have tons of benches to relax and enjoy paradise!

This beach is nice the rock barriers in place keeps waves away making it perfect for little kids who are not comfortable around water. Water is clear and good place to enjoy the water steps from your hotel. Only negative is the presence of many homeless who are on meth speaking to themselves making it uncomfortable for my family.

Super clean and very welcoming

Perfect for small children.

Wonderful warm water and sunny beach

Quite and pleasant

Only homeless. No tourists. Covid.

I love it

nice girls

Great beach within walking distance of our hotel.

Lively and lovely. Energy and dynamics

So beautiful. One of my favorite places on earth. Waikiki, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii

Nice beach to lounge around in without getting pummeled by large waves. All food and beverages are across the street. Quite a few homeless but they don't mess with you. Beautiful scenery including the iconic Diamondhead.

A beach with sand and stuff. There are about 10 abc stores along this beach. Some seating areas are closed. Water fountains were maintained and functional.

We have the best time there. My grandson loves that beach.

The lesser known. Clear water. Beautiful shells. Local sanctuary. 2nd to Makaha. Please do visit.

What a wonderful experience. Went with a friend, and had an amazing time. Best to bring a chair towel, refreshments and Aloha. It will be hard to leave after getting completely relaxed. Bring your camera in a waterproof case if you can. Waikiki is exciting.

Fun beach! Lots of space, plenty of shopping. Well worth a day here. One thing I find odd is how may ABC stores there are haha

Kuhio Beach is a nice city beach to hang out on for a few hours. Close to the hotels, stores, and restaurants. Bathrooms nearby. Sand is clean. Water is warm and calm for swimming or just hanging out. Water can be a little rocky so be careful on your feet. Water is clean. It can get a little crowded so get there early to get a good spot.

(Translated by Google) beautiful sunset and great fula shows. A beautiful sunset and a free hula show are recommended. It's a place where you feel like you're in Hawaii when you come here. (Original) beautiful sunset and great fula shows. 綺麗なサンセットと無料のフラショーがおすすめ。 ここに来るとハワイに来たって感じる場所です。

Sweet

Great beach. Lots of room

nice park

My go to beach to est my lunch and chill.

Beautiful and Clean beach. Fun to watch people play beach volleyball.

Loved it! Beautiful beach. 🌴

Beautiful

Great beach.

Such calm water. The beach is so clean. An outdoor shower to use if needed.

One of the most beautiful places in the world.

This is a great place to kick back, picnic and take a stroll. Oceanside is mostly seawall with some sand as you get closer to Waikiki.

Good place to social distance with friends

Wonderful in Waikiki

I like to hangout with my dog when I have free time.
