Top Rated Parks to Visit in Haleiwa Alii Beach Park

"Just up the road is another one of the most popular Instagram spots on all of Oahu; Kaiula Beach Park. Drive safely, as the road will take you up a scenic drive with views of the most inviting beach you’ve ever laid eyes on. Not becoming distracted by the siren call of Eden out your window will be one of the most difficult things you will have to do during your time on Oahu!"

"Take a 12 mile drive northeast to Kailua Beach to find exciting waterfront activities. A crescent-shaped, 2.5 mile stretch of glorious bright-blue ocean and sandy beach, Kailua Beach is the place for all sorts of sports from windsurfing to kayaking. Kayak or paddle board out to the protected seabird sanctuaries of Flat Island and the Mokulua Islands."

"A cobalt-blue sea and a wide continuous arc of powdery sand make Kailua Beach Park one of the island's best beaches, illustrated by the…"

"This 1.7-acre park is located on a peninsula just south of town and offers spectacular views of an iconic landmark- an offshore islet complete with a beautiful arch in the middle, as well as the Mokualai Islet Seabird Sanctuary. Take some time to marvel at the waves crashing against the rugged cliffs as you ponder the legend of “Laniloa the Mo’o” (giant lizard) and his role in the formation of the small islands in the area. (We’ll leave you with that teaser so you can read about the legend once you get there- it’s located on a granite plaque mounted on a 6-ton lava rock.) Simply put, the views here are phenomenal and not to be missed."

"Next head to Waimea Valley to see Waimea Falls and swim in the pool at the bottom. This is a beautiful and sacred place and could definitely warrant a few hours of your time – we spent about an hour and a half there."

"Tour Waimea Valley where you can learn about Hawaiian culture, admire a beautiful variety of trees, shrubs and plants and enjoy a swim at a waterfall. (See this link for TripAdvisor reviews of Waimea Valley.)"

"Waimea may get lots of press for the giant winter waves in the bay, but the valley itself is a newsmaker and an ecological treasure in…"

"Next, stop off in Waimānalo for some fresh local foods, Hawaiʻi delicacies or your staple “plate lunch.” Then visit Bellows Beach where the waves are gentle and the Sherwood Forest is a great respite to picnic, relax, sunbathe and enjoy the last daylight hours of the final moments of your Hawaiian vacation.

"What makes this small beach different is that the visitors are protected from strong waves by the man-made rocky reef barrier. You should proceed with caution in the waters as the sand isn’t as smooth as other beaches, given how the beach is rocky in some areas. This beach also has a nice background, which consists of trees in a grassy area."

"9 km from city center 23 out of 58 places to visit in Honolulu. Separated by a distance of 7.4 miles from the city of Honolulu, the Waialae Beach is a favourite of a number of people in Honolulu. If you are planning to spend a day filled with activities, you can definitely include this beach in your bucket list, swimming, sunning, picnics, snorkeling, walking, even running, and the list goes on."

"Waialae Beach Park is a relaxing spot for people who are comfortable under the sunlight. This beach has a rocky shoreline and shallow reef; thus, wearing footwear when you step in waters is highly recommended. There are also windsurfers in this area, given the windy weather and minimal waves."

"Lunchtime: Restaurant 604 is convenient to the Pearl Harbor Historic Sites and has waterfront dining with a menu of American and island favorites (like loco moco and kalua pork). No trip to Oahu would be complete without visiting the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument, home to the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center and the USS Arizona Memorial, which sits over the sunken battleship. You’ll want to set aside at least 2 to 3 hours here to tour the museums and join the free 75-minute USS Arizona program, which involves an informational video and a boat ride out to the monument. The visitor center and USS Arizona Memorial are free, but the memorial requires a timed ticket, available online 60 days ahead of time (for a small convenience fee)."

"After what can only be described as the hardest of our hikes on Oahu and definitely the hardest hike of our lives, we really deserved the best breakfast in Oahu. A quick google search for a nearby café resulted in a very average looking parking lot, complete with Pizza hut & a Safeway. A tad confused and ever trusting of the Google Gods we thankfully continued as Island Brew Coffee House turned out to be an unforgettable spot and one of the best places to eat in Oahu for breakfast with a view!"

"Island Brew Coffee House is known for its rich coffee drinks– think espresso milkshakes, blended coffee lattes, and flavored espresso classics. The menu is enormous. They also sell a variety of gluten-free and vegan food, which they serve all day."

"A hot favorite among local families, Anna Miler’s also has a fair amount of tourists with family making a beeline to have a quick bite of their immensely popular breakfast which is available round the clock. The restaurant has probably got the most varieties of omelets available, each too good to be missed. Pancakes, waffles, chicken fried steak is also raved by the loyal customers."

"Pearl CityCraving a good old fashion club sandwich during self-isolation?. Don’t fret, your friendly neighborhood diner is here to help. No longer open 24 hours due to the mandate, Anna Miller’s still serves up island favorites such as its popular chicken pot pie and farmer’s breakfast."
