If you are looking for a place close to the beach, water, and sun, this is for you. Ewa beach is well out of the Waikiki tourist zone. The ocean is good for swimming and literally just a walk across the yard. Ewa Beach is a good drive from most of the well-known restaurants of Waikiki, but there is a full kitchen that makes cooking easy. The only other thing to note is that Ewa Beach gets hotter than much of the rest of the island when the trade winds die down... but when they blow, it’s glorious.
