- Kahanamoku Beach Waikiki: Kahanamoku Beach is located right in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel on the west end. This beach is great for swimming, sunbathing, surfing, and tanning. Kahanamoku Beach features a shallow offshore reef that protects this beach from the big waves. This provides a great swimming area that is relatively safe for families with children.
- Waimanalo Bay Beach Park: This park has ample parking, restrooms, outdoor showers, and a good beach for swimming. While not as stunning as some other Hawaiian beaches, it is a safe beach because big waves and dangerous currents are rare and lifeguards are present. Hawaiians who live on Oahu frequent this beach.

- Hamoa Beach: This pocket beach is rimmed by cliffs, covered by coconut palm trees and beautiful flowering vegetation. This crescent beach, which is a mixture of coral and lava sand, is the most famous of Maui’s Hana beaches. The beach is actually inside a breached volcanic crater. To get to Hamoa Beach, one has to take the “Road to Hana”, the treacherous road with drop-offs of over 1,000 feet and sporadic guardrails, which can be an adventure in itself! Taking it slow on this road, with over 50 one-way bridges, is probably the safest bet.
