Waikīkī Beach Center

Beach

👍👍 Lovely calm beach. Located infront of the Hyatt. It's more of a giant swimming pool, as the rock wall blocks any waves. It gets very crowded during the day. It's convenient, and nice, but there are much nicer beaches on Oahu!

👍👍 Beautiful beach, can get pretty busy, one of the best sunrise spots on the island.

Pokai Bay Beach

Beach

👍👍 Beautiful beach. I call this the “west side Waikiki.” Lots of locals. Best place to throw a birthday party. There’s a playground for children. There’s showers and lots of places to barbecue. The bathrooms aren’t too clean but there are a lot of people sharing it so that can be expected. Great food p...

Three Tables

Beach

👍👍 Three Tables Beach, North Shore Oahu Hawaii Situated between Waimea Bay Beach and Püpükea Beach.

The beach is lined w...
