About Kahanamoku Beach
Situated in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Kahanamoku Beach features a man-made lagoon, the Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon, which provides a tranquil setting for swimming and paddleboarding. The gentle waves make it an excellent spot for families, beginner swimmers, and those looking to enjoy water activities in a relaxed environment.
Unlike the busier sections of Waikiki Beach, Kahanamoku Beach offers a more laid-back atmosphere while still being close to hotels, restaurants, and attractions. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking sunsets, outrigger canoe rides, and strolls along the shoreline. The beach also serves as an ideal location for snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding due to its relatively shallow and clear waters.
With its historical significance, scenic beauty, and recreational opportunities, Kahanamoku Beach remains one of Honolulu’s most beloved coastal destinations, attracting both tourists and locals seeking a slice of paradise in the heart of Waikiki.
