If you’re planning an Oahu getaway with your family, you don’t want to miss the many beaches that make Hawaii so popular with people of all ages. Make some time on your agenda to stop at a few of these wonderful tourist attractions by the sea.

3 Beaches to Take the Family on Oahu

1. Waimanalo Bay

At Waimanalo Bay, you’ll find tables shaded by ironwood trees, where you can enjoy a family picnic. From here, you’ll have a panoramic view of the Ko‘olau Mountains. It’s also a beach to enjoy the waves, which are generally calm but amenable to bodysurfing.

2. Laniakea Beach

Often referred to as Turtle Beach, Laniakea Beach is popular with children for good reason. The plush white sands are the preferred resting spot of Hawaiian green sea turtles to soak up the sunshine. While the turtles are a well-known tourist attraction to photograph, don’t approach or touch them—stay behind the tape barricade. The beach itself is a gentle shore framed by wavy palm trees with clear, calm waters perfect for swimming. Since parking is limited, it’s worth hiring a transportation service or bus charter instead of driving.

3. Kailua Beach Park

Mesmerizing turquoise waters worthy of a postcard characterize the beauty of Kailua Beach Park. The waters are relatively calm here, so it’s an easy place to swim. If you have a boogie board, bring it along; despite the relaxed pace of the sea, there are enough waves from time to time to enjoy a ride. You can even rent a kayak and paddle out to enjoy the tourist attraction from a fresh vantage point.
