Probably the best beach on the south side to catch waves. There’s lots of space and several washing stations. There is also ample parking and rentals available too. Only downside is the rentals close at like 4:30 which seems super early and you cannot bring in dogs. I wish there was a dog area of the beach people could use. They do also have a food truck there now which is great, I hope it stays and maybe even more trucks come there as well.

Beautiful spacious beach. Surfboard rental is for armed forces only. However, the beach is open to the public. Waves are ok for surf beginners. Public toilets and showers are available. There are lockers, you have to bring a padlock.

White Plains is an excellent location for beginners to learn how to surf, which is one of the reasons I enjoy going there. The waves rarely get too large, particularly during the colder months. Because they never stop, it can be very taxing to keep up with them. It is possible for there to be a lot of people there during the weekends and off days, but the beach itself is not particularly remarkable. The sunsets, on the other hand, can be quite lovely.

White Plains Beach or Barber’s Point is located on Federal property and is operated by the Morale, Welfare and Recreation Department of the U.S. Military. I observed surfing, sun bathing, paddle boarding, cook outs and children playing in the water. There are lifeguards on duty, restrooms, showers, changing areas, gazebos for reserve and ample parking available. There are cottages available for rent through the MWR. The beach was very crowded the day I went and no one was wearing mask.

Great waves lifeguard on the beach.

For surfing it's a 4. For swimming a 3. They have a designated swim area, lifeguards, and plenty of covered picnic tables. There is also a food truck on sight most days. The swim area is small and the turbulence makes the water cloudy. The sand beach is clean but small. However it's a great place for Kapolei locals to escape the more touristy beaches and practice surfing on less intimidating waves.

This beach is perfect to catch some waves wether you’re on sub or body board, they have lifeguards on duty and some shaded areas with table and benches for all day rent/use. Water is amazing but there are lots of rocks, so watch out. Also not the place for baby swim, too many strong waves, but overall we loved it and had a great time on body boards!

Brought the family over here. It's a huge beach. It's a great beach if you're a beginner surfer. It's pretty cool because they have an area for swimmers only as well. There are waves but not too out of control. Sometimes it's windy it was a little windy today. Not bad though overall a really good beach experience. Lots and lots of sand. We stayed for a long time maybe 5 hours. There's also a place where you can walk on a reef and check out the sites very scenic.

MWR has great deals for military members, including super cheap equipment rentals and surfing lessons. The waves seem great for both beginners and regular surfers based on the crowd I saw in the water.

This was about 15 mins from our hotel in Kapolei. We went here twice. One because it had a great family picture spot for us. The first time we went was just to play on the beach. It was one of the calmer beaches with the kids.

This is a pretty popular beach for longboard surfers whom bring their boards and those with a Military or Civilian CAC/ID card that can rent surfboards. The beach is beautiful - a little bit short but a great spot to take a quick dip and enjoy the scenery and there are often lots of longboard and Stand Up Paddleboarders (SUP) out on the waves. It is quite enjoyable to watch the experienced surfers ride waves for sometimes close to a minute, especially the SUPs that can propel themselves further. "High Theft Area" signs posted at entrance to beach. Be safe, enjoy the sun, sand and water! Mahalo!

Not too crowded and nice waves.

Great local beach. A bit out of the way on the Ewa side. Parking lot not paved, but ample parking. Good area for surfers not giant waves bit good South shore swell area. Bath room and shower facilities on-site. Picnic areas for food action. Great vista of Diamond Head and Honolulu.

White Plains is super accessible, plenty of parking, good restrooms. The waves come in constantly and never get too big. It’s a great place to learn to surf. The wind can get pretty high so don’t expect to set up a beach tent, canopy, or keep your hat on.

Good place for family and some decent sets rolling in.

Hanging out with the locals because we don't want to be with the rest of the tourists in Waikiki!

Nice little beach good for swimming and relaxing. Bring water shoes

Nice beach, lots of parking. Good surf. There are ready areas too and picnic areas. Not all areas are open due to Covid, but there is beach access

What used to be a local beach definitely has more and more tourists every time I come here but it’s still a great surfing beach that monk seals frequent.

Good parking. Wide sandy beach. life guard and surfing 🏄‍♀️ 🤙🏽

Again missed out on any sea life from shore but a great family beach to visit

Would be great if there was no coral reef

Beautiful

It's been raining a lot lately, so let's go to Ewa Beach, which is said to be the least rainy place (?)! ! So, my husband and I went on a short drive♪ If you follow the news from Google Maps...huh? here? ? I went down a back road like this, but I was able to follow it properly. (lol) The word "White" caught my eye and I automatically imagined Shirahama, but a (white) simple beach? It was 🏖️😅 When I went there, I could see Diamond Head in the distance, and it was a comfortable beach where you could relax and relax. It was cold so I didn't go into the sea this time, but my husband said it wasn't suitable for snorkeling😅 However, there are moderate waves, so it might be good for surfing beginners. ? And. (←My husband is also a surfing beginner🔰) There is a lifeguard hut (?), but I think it was unmanned when we went...so I doubt if it's for beginner surfers🏄. There is also a shower 🚿, so you can feel refreshed even after entering the sea ♪ It felt so good to lather on the beach...😊 It's a little far from Waikiki, so if you're going for a drive, I think it's a nice, hidden beach. As for the weather...I can't beat the rainy season, and even though I've come this far, it's been raining lightly😅

Great beach for learning to surf

This is a pretty beach filled with military families and surfers. We had fun watching surfers here and just laying in the sun. The bathrooms however were really disgusting.

Perfect of you're trying to catch the waves

MWR military rentals and sweet waves. Stay groovy.

Its awesome for surfing and wave riding but not as much for kids as I heard. Nice beach but not at all all people praise about.

Decent beach that seems to be mostly locals for a change. It is more sandy than other beaches nearby but when swimming you’ll smash your feet/toes on rocks pretty often which takes away from the enjoyment. Sand is sloped and has a drop off right after entering the water. Seems to be very popular for surfing. Not much fun for anything else water wise or kids wise.

For me this is the best.good for surfing.plenty parking lot.not too crowded.clean restroom.and they have locker too .

Nice beach with plenty of sport areas such as volleyball. It's also a great place for surfing and swimming.

Very beautiful beach. Well worth a visit

Great beginner beach for surfing and also great for those just looking to have fun. I recommend this beach to all my friends and anyone I'm teaching to surf. The waves are consistent, and you can touch the bottom pretty far out. The military can rent boards and condos, but the public can not (or just bring someone from the military, and then you can)

Amazing... cool spot for long boarding. As with any break or surf spot, respect the lineup, respect the locals, and enjoy the stoke!!!

One of my favorite beaches on Oahu to relax and chill, watch the surfers and soak in the sun!

Great beach. Plenty of room to park. We went five days in a row and the beach was never crowded. Waves were great and not too rocky.

Everything was very neatly organizated is to get 2the things your looking for..Employees where very friendly and they young man that waited on us and cashed us out was super friendly wished I'd of caught his name cause this young man was awesome I do Highly recommend this place for ur lit fur babies or if your wanting2 adopt a cat,dog, gerbils,etc..This is the Best places2go A+++

Great place to just hang out on the beach. Good waves coming to the shore. Fun for all ages

Nice beach. Good waves. Can get cowards on the weekend since it’s rather small

Beautiful scenery, clean bathrooms and planty of amenities to enjoy a great beach day.

AWESOME beach. Good constant beginner waves. It’s a drive to get there, and I would NOT leave anything valuable in your car, but it’s a great spot to get away and feel local (unless you are already). Don’t swim too far out from shore unless you like walking on coral. Also, be mindful when you are surfing, that when you fall, don’t dive in. Try to fall flat on the water or you might get scraped by coral during low tide.

Great for surfing, waves were a little high for little ones but it depends what time you go. Bathrooms and showers available, and a little snack shop. Ample parking and a lifeguard!

Great surfing beach for beginners

🏄

Nice beach area with decent bathrooms.

Beautiful place

Lots of beach area..can be popular when the weather is good, especially on weekends.

good waves and out of the way, but not necessarily picturesque.

Great beach for the family. Not crowded

Super great little surf beach. Family spot

Nice petite beach with Lifeguard, great for surfing and relaxing

Amazing beach! High tides. Great place for surfers 🏄‍♂️

Great beach for beginner surfers🤙

Good vibes, mellow easy goin good fun times. Clean facilities and Plenty parking.

It's a coo public beach

White sandy beach with a Diamond head view!

Good place to learn how to surf, when its not so crowded..Its like a small version of Waikiki..Once in while you will see the Hawaiian Monk Seals resting on the sand, when you see them keep your distance and make sure no one Harms them.

Great place with different breaks for all skill levels of surfing. Not too intimidating for beginners

Good for beginner surfers.

Don't go here, lots of sharks 🦈 😉

If u want to surf a mushy break and get mauled by kooks all day this the place for u. P.s don't bring a nice board

Monk seal sunbathing... please keep distance (pic is with zoom)if you are these cuties. Beach is closed so plan to be IN the water at all times.

Fun beach for the family to enjoy. Great place to learn how to surf.

Nice sandy area to swim and to get started before hitting the waves. Bathroom and showers are decent.

Good place for beginner surfing. Beach is ok, but the waves can be a little strong for little ones.

Amazing place, best of the best beaches on Oahu. Hidden gem. Go often.

This is where I learn to surf in the early 1970's. Use to be a Navy military beach. Now it's open to the public. Great beach if you're just learning to surf. One drawback ...tiger sharks do love this area so surf with caution. Cool thing about this beach.... monk seals love to nap here. Please be respectful of them. Admire them at a distance and use your telefoto lens when taking fotos. They need their rest and trust me they can move faster then you can run on the beach which could be dangerous to you.

Great place to surf
