Fisherman really keep this place clean. Awesome view of diamond head crater. Fresh and clean environment... very peaceful.
Great. Just needed a break to tune into nature before braving the freeway back to office in town.
Its a good place to hang out and relax.
Its hard to decipher if you can come to the park or not. I hear so many stories of people getting tickets for even sitting in their cars!
Place is nice n clean, its more of a park than a beach. Good for get togethers, BBQ or just to hangout n enjoy the scenery.. The bay itself have numerous watersports like canoeing, jetsking, kayaking, surfing,snorkeling, parasailing etc...by businesses operating from the marinas.However, the highlight of this beach park and the reason i go there besides some fishing is because I believe this is the only place during low tide that you can walk out pretty far out onto the reefs that are mostly made up of sand. Ive even seen people walk with their dogs out there. Its Awesome!
Starting to collect a crew of homeless poeple.
Get place for dogs to play together when the tide is low.
Best illegal did park ever! Ever!
Great for fishing and kayaking. Boat launch that was not busy so easy to use.
Maunaloa was really packed & the parking lot was full several days in a row. We found Spencer beach just down the road from maunaloa and we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Great for snorkeling, but watch out for sea urchins on the reef.
The most beautiful park on the east end of Oahu with a nice country feel in the town
The Sand bar is so very nice to see.White Sand bar and see life.
Another great place to visit, take in the ocean views, do some swimming or snorkeling, also fly fishing.
Its mainly a boat ramp, lots of parking but no restroom
Great place to relax and fish and do wstersports also watch kanoes
Visited this park as part of island tour of Honolulu. Narrow park with beach and ocean views. Not many people there and several people in water using water scouters. Noisy as it is beside the main highway to coastal beaches on the southeast of Oahu. Nice view, may not be great for longer stops. The bay is beautiful with clear blue reflection. This is a popular spot for motorized craft such as jet sky. It is right across the highway from the Hawaii Kai town centre mall. You can pick up food for your picnic at Costco or one of the restaurants located in the mall. As to earlier comments of not safe, you should not be taking valuables to any beach park.
HINDERS me 2 b @round ppl DONT understnd me. 10yr Anniversary Honolulu STAY HAVE I. 18 2020 January. WORRIED MY PARTYE DID MISS
Great stop to by if your making a pit stop. They have some activities close by and also a small court area across the street for some quick pick me ups or just getting something to eat
Its a good place to see cannon racing.
Restroom facilities are hard to find here. This spot is only good for launching boats, or loading up passengers. A little further down the road there is a small beach which is usually packed.
Special time keep forever memories.
Nice area, definitely some things to do if youre interested. Had a nice Dive out in the reef.
Beautiful!
Water is shallow. Great to bring your dogs for some water fun.
Enjoyed watching our son and his canoe club paddle the Eddie Ayau race.
Awesome as always
Beautiful place for sunset or a walk
Absolutely beautiful sunrise!
Great lovely spot
Awesome
Great for a picnic
It was a very peaceful place to relax while I waited for my daughter to return from her dive excursion.
So peaceful. Nice get away from the getaway
Its great if you go before the tourist buses start showing up. Otherwise...
Very quiet and great place to enjoy the sunshine
Beautiful beach and great weather
Beautiful
Great beach for the kids.
Mt family love this park. The water is not rough and its shallow for the little ones.
Kinda run down nothing fun here. They may have events and thats probably the time to go. But it was nice n quiet.
Kids loved finding shells and watching the hermit crabs and regular crabs crawl around.
Nice view, we were here for then Ekiden Marathon and relay race.
Perfect and calm for Stand Up Paddling
Peaceful and quiet pretty clean water is clear tonight
Very nice, bathrooms were freshly cleaned,it was lowtide, children were on field trip checking out the sealife in the shallows,large surf on outerreefs was a plus, awesome site to see .summer snd southswell
Great place to fish/jet ski
Great boat ramp and beautiful spot. Not much beach but the next one over has alot more.
This little beach park is actually a gem. Sand has covered the once Rocky, slimy shelf and now it sand from the shoreline out to 200 yards. Shallow and calm enough for little kids to enjoy without worrying about surf, undertow, etcThe shallow water leaves a fun sandbar for picnics, water football or just horsing around. The park has restrooms, showers, numerous picnic tables, and huge grassy area for soccer, volleyball, kites, frisbee, etc. Definitely worth a stop.
Saw the baby turtles OMG...
Beautiful
Tons of parking! Clean, easy access to the water, jump out of car for nice pics & go!
Nice place to stop
A MUST go to spot if visiting Hawaii. Get there early! The parking lot has only 300 spots and they fill up quick. Opens at 7:00am. Parking lot is fully by 7:30-8:00. If parking lot is fully, you are forced to park at the bottom of the hill in a residential neighborhood and walk. NOT a fun walk. Especially on a hot day. Parking lot entry price is $1 for the car. You read that right (one dollar). To get into the Bay itself, is less than $10 per person. Stay as long as you want. There is a shuttle you can take to get down to the water/beach. Its only $2.50 per person. The walk DOWN isnt bad but after a day of swimming/snorkeling/diving, you probably dont care to walk back up the steep thing!You must watch a video that gives a brief history of the Bay. Its 9 minutes long.
There is parking and theres a bathroom! Its not a good place to swim but for other swimming activities is great!
Beautiful place to post for a picture
Comon! Does it get any better!?
HUGE parking lot with 2 boat ramps, and a soft spot to launch kayaks on the far right near the outrigger canoes.Though this isnt the prettiest beach Park, its a really great spot for beginner paddlers and kayaking as the shallow waters are fairly calm and waist deep in case you fall off.Only issue is there is no shade here or much sand, more rocks and carpark with a bit of grass so bring a tent.
A good place to watch the sun set behind/next to Diamond Head. Lots of parking. Typical beach park bathrooms. The beach itself is very narrow, rough and coarse coral/rocks. Zero surf, extremely shallow out to the boat channel. Lots of watercraft during the day and on weekends. Very few picnic tables. Always a large family luau or church picnic most weekends.
My husband and I were married here so this place holds a very special place in our hearts! Convenient parking, Palm trees, view of the gorgeous Oahu shorelines. Its got it all ️
Chill place to park, sit a while, or stay all day with a lovely scene to view just down the road from Hanauma Bay.
There are No words to discribe this Sunset on the Bay
Best place ever....really great experience
We call this place Salt Flats
Always a great place. The huge changes in the tides always keeps this pace interesting.
I went with new friends and had a blast. So much fun and so much entertainment. Love the life we live. Be greatful and multiple. Blessed by our creator. Thankful for the son of Christ. Help one another even misty paakaula. Okay.
Beautiful memories at this gorgeous place
Beautiful Sunsets overlooking canoe paddlers and the backside of Diamond Head.
Very pretty and away from the tourists.
Neat and people are pleasant
Great spot to snorkel and relax
Water was a bit murky but still nice alsome view
I wasnt at Maunalua Bay Beach Park. I was at Kuliouou Community Beach Park, although Google Maps mistakenly thinks I was at the former, and this review thingy popped up. Oh well. At any rate, it was nice. I go there every day. Come to think of it, Maunalua Bay Beach Park is okay too.
Nice place for all kinds of water activities.
Beautiful place
Secluded and beautiful
Beautiful spot to watch the eclipse.
Spacious park, plenty parking
I like to come here and have lunch with my partner. We walk and talk for a couple of hours
Taililgate picnic wit Safeway deli. Watched the set. Beautiful view. Didnt see bathrooms, tho. Clean Burger King across da st.
Very clean location and well taken care of.
First time lots of fun
Great place to see whales
