China Man Hat Island
Park
👍👍 Mega view, just a great experience... swimming to the island is not recommended because you cut yourself very quickly on the reefs. Therefore a Boddybort surfboard canoe etc. is preferable as the water is usually no deeper than knee deep!!

🫤 I'm born and raised on the island and ever since I was little the park is nice but the water is not that great there's alot of coral rock so swimming here will be uncomfortable and this beach is shark infested id say for tourists just stay in Waikiki the beach there has better swimming conditions.
