There is no shortage of beaches on Oahu.
Many maps show dozens of beaches in a ring around the entire island.
The following are the beaches on Oahu that we recommend. Note that we have listed them in geographic order, starting on the South Shore, east of Waikiki. Hanauma is, without doubt, our favorite beach in all of Oahu. The steep hills that surround the bay provide breathtaking views of the sandy beach and the crystal-clear water below. You will have excellent views from the hillside parking area prior to descending the trail that leads to the beach.
