Absolutely beautiful beach, especially during sunset. Waves are big at least during December-January, not perfect for kids in my opinion. It gets deeps within few steps. Lots of parking, restroom and shower. 5-10 minutes walk from Mermaid Coves :)

An amazing beach. Parking is very limited but you can park on the street around the area. (As of 12/17/2022)The bathrooms here work but the women's stall only had one stall that was fully functional. The beach is clean. Spots are first come first serve. The beach is very photogenic during the sunset hours. Overall, a very nice beach.

Nice beach with bathrooms and showers. Parking gets busy around noon, so come early. You can also explore nearby caves and tide pools (just make sure to wear athletic shoes)

The beach is very beautiful and the sea is wonderful, but the park is poorly maintained, bathrooms are dirty and neglected, a lot of home less in the area.

This is the perfect beach for those looking for smaller crowds, nice smooth sandy shores, huge waves and amazing scenery; the color of the water is unreal! It can get deep pretty close to the shore so watch out for the children. Nanakuli is surely one of the top beaches on the westside🤙

Absolutely loved this beach and this is where mermaid cove is if you're looking for it and this beach comes up. The water was wonderful and the waves were small. Lots of awesome people around. They have bathrooms and outside wster fountains and showers to rinse off at. The sand was nice and didn't feel like sandpaper walking on it. Make sure you wear filp flops because you might step on a thorn . Definitely go and visit.

Nice large beach. My feet did sink into the sand about ankle deep. It was a soft packed sand.

Beautiful Beach right next to a stream with perfect cascading waves... until our 4 year old was stung by a Portuguese Man O’ War. The beachgoers were very helpful and the lifeguards were amazing.

My Home town.. Grow up in a Loving inviroment..💖👍 Full of ALOHA 🌺

Nanakuli Beach Park is one of the few beaches on the west side where you can swim. Fine sand. Beach is wide with lots of room. Parking and rest rooms are on the North side of the beach. I’ve never had problems finding a parking spot at this beach however I usually come late in the afternoon. On the North side of the parking lot are coral cliffs where I have taken some great sunset photos.

A fantastic beach that was not busy when I arrived. The waves are super fun to play in (although could be dangerous if you're not a strong swimmer). There are washrooms here and free parking.

(Translated by Google) The west side of Oahu is a dangerous area, and it is better not to go now except Aulani and Ko Olina, which Hawaii Government continues to develop as the second Waikiki. Even in Waikiki, America's Oahu Island has a great deal of police car sirens, but the west side is even more dangerous. There are always cases in Hawaii. Last year, it wasn't a tropical paradise, as it was reported in Japan that a Japanese was hit by a toilet in a park in a development district next to Ala Wai. Ko Olina and Aulani have a high level of safety as guards patroll the coast. (Original) オアフ島の西側は以前から危険地帯で、ハワイ政庁が第二のワイキキとして開発を続けているアウラニやコオリナ以外は、今も行かない方が良いです。アメリカ・オアフ島はワイキキでさえパトカーのサイレンが凄いのに西側は更に危険です。 ハワイは常時事件が有ります。 去年もアラワイ隣の開発地区の公園のトイレで日本人が被害に遭った事は日本でも珍しく報道されました程で南国の楽園ではありません。 コオリナやアウラニは海岸をガードが巡回して安全性は暫くは高いです。

Beautiful Day at the most emaculant beach on the westside! Families and friends having great food and fun at the jewels of Nanakuli!

The water is great. The sand doesn't stick to you like clay, but the beach is too crowded and the parking is horrendous on the weekends.

Beach for locals. Not many tourists. Watch out for homeless people and other freaks who may expose their private parts. Lifeguard is on duty. Waves look big but they aren’t strong. It gets deep very quick. Beautiful clear water. You can watch whales and sea turtles.

Beautiful beach with lots of sea turtles, it is a must stop to watch the sunset!

Great little beach. Because it is less windy. To the left of the beach, you can find cool caves/pools to jump in.

Nanakuli Beach Park, particularly Mermaid Cove, offers a serene escape with its natural soundtrack of gently lapping waters. The cove's tranquil ambiance makes it an ideal spot for leisurely hours of relaxation. For the adventurous, the beach provides an exhilarating boogie boarding experience, with some sizable waves for those seeking an adrenaline rush. Hidden gem of Oahu.

One of my favorite beaches in the world. Good place to experience Hawaii's white sand beaches and beautiful sunsets.

Cherry Beach

Beautiful as always. Great family gathering place.

Want to swim with dolphins? Whales? Done that. 100 yds out.

Beautiful beach with a nice little park area attached. Parking was easy. The beach was nice and great for swimming.

Beautiful scenery. Parking isnt too bad. Great transit spot. Great beach for swimming

It was wonderful

Not the best beach to visit,bad element can be seen in the area.lock up your stuff if u plan to swim.

Beautiful Family Beach

Nice beach expansive beach with alluring clean sand and a large park with trees for families to set up canopies and spend long hours daytime into the evenings at the beach. A bit far away for city visitors. Nice sandy beaches and very spacious grassy play area. Night lights on basket ball and volleyball courts, actively used by the youth. Ample parking. Really great as a local park with nice sunsets, but a bit far drive from Honolulu to see a sunset. Sun ball of fire for summer sunsets drop down onto the ocean's horizon.

Beautiful sandy beach and clean water

My favorite beach! Waves can get rough but it's a perfect beach to relax in.

A real secret gem! super local spot with beautiful caves and amazing clear blue water

intimate and wild

I love it!

Very nice beach. No need for beach shoes.

Life guards pay close attention to swimmers. Even took our dog but recommend keeping pets on leashes cause technically pets are not allowed but nobody stopped us. Beach was clean and water was nice.

Beautiful. Lots of 🦀. Kids loved it!

Great beach. Easy parking, facilities, and beautiful water. There is a steep drop off in the water, so you will be immediately treading water (which we enjoyed). It's all shore break, and there can be some surprise sets, so you need to pay attention. We saw adults getting thrown around. My 8 year old couldn't get enough of it, but he was careful when a bigger set was coming and played it safer further up the sand. My 5 year old and I would time the set and I would rush her out there on her boogie board. She loved kicking around and feeling the swell knowing that we were past the break. Fortunately, I'm a very strong swimmer and know how to read the ocean. I would escort her in quickly in between sets and we would run back up the beach as soon as she was on solid ground. I wouldn't recommend this for people who aren't very familiar with the ocean, but it's our favorite.

Plenty parking, right off the main road so easily accessible There are picnic tables, public restroom that is not disgusting and a park for the kids. Rhe view is beautiful you can see the coast the mountains and the ocean

Nice

Best beach ever.

Beautiful views!!

We just pass that beach everyday on the way out to town.They had shut down after a 2lockdown because of the covid.Its a beautiful place to picnic and have family gatherings.But beware at night it gets haunted by homeless n crime.

It's a beach but it is clean

Nice, in the mornings

Beautiful waves!

Beautiful beach too much people

Beautiful beach that stretches far out to sea. Life guards present so swimming is as safe it can be.

It's a great place too relax.,and too go swim and go ,fishing.

Beautiful park to swim and exercise

It's a biased opinion

Was not there

The weather is always hot and water warm.

Best beach on the island. Chill, not tourist heavy, locals are cool and the waves are great. Officially our favorite beach hangout.

Great little playground and several good climbing trees
