This is a very popular beach for the people who live on the west side. The sand is clean, water refreshing, little ponds for the kids to wade in. There is one life guard tower. The bathroom tends to get VERY wet and sandy with all the keiki’s running in and out. I suggest coming early to grab a spot on the upper portion of the beach near the parking area, reason being, once high tide hits your belongs will get wet and swept away. The current can be strong here with lots of waves. If you’re used to Ala Moana or Waikiki beaches you may consider the waves to be larger than you’re used to. Ultimately, great beach to pop up a tent, bring your grill and just have a gathering and let the kids run free as the sand feels so good. Not as fine as the beaches on the south side, which makes it easier to get out.lol. Also, it tends to get VERY crowded on the weekend. The parking lot is rather small for this long stretch of beach, but you are able to park where the train tracks are. The locals come out strong on the weekend. You’ll see them with their Kingdom of Hawaiian Sovereignty flag flying. The locals here are very friendly, don’t be surprised if they invite you to come and make yourself a plate of some ono bbq!
