It's not too crowded during the time of year to come and the water is crystal clear. The view is amazing. There's a lot of space for people to spread out.

This place is beautiful and not as crowded as other locations on Oahu. Parking is limited though…read morebut there is staff that help control the parking situation. I like that this spot is not too busy considering what's around the area. There are several attractions all within walking distance from here. When on this side of Oahu, be sure to visit and expect to spend a few hours at the least. It's no wonder there are several high end resorts here. It's less touristy and more local here but very comfortable and relaxing.

I found a quiet spot on the rocks where I could read a book, watch the ships and planes and best of all be close to the water.

great spot for the beach if you're on this side of the island!…read more It might be a little troublesome to get into the beach access since you need to check in with the guard and show paperwork, but it's well worth it because the beaches are so much cleaner and less crowded. I love how they have lounge chairs and poop bags for your pup too! Lots of parking nearby but a little tight. all the end stalls are bigger. theres even a little restaurant nearby just in case you're hungry!

What's the name of this beach??? Kapilina Beach? Because it's located in the Kapilina Beach Home…read morecommunity? Iroquois Beach? Because it's located in Iroquois Point in Ewa Beach? In any case, this is not a beach that you happen to find as you explore the island. You have to WANT to come here and can be a PAIN to get to. First, it's located at the furthest end of Ewa Beach - a 40 minute drive from downtown Honolulu. Second, while it is technically a public beach, it is only accessible via a guarded/gated community (Kapilina Beach Homes), which means you need to show your driver's license, car registration and insurance at the security gate. Third, the area is patrolled by military police (as it is government land) who are not shy about pulling you over if you are not strictly following the road rules. Anyway, your best bet is to befriend someone who lives here. Then you can park close to the beach (versus visitor parking) and can have access to the other beach amenities (cabanas, beach chairs, umbrellas, bbq grills, etc.) The beach itself is quiet and uncrowded. Great view of the airport and Pearl Harbor so you can watch the planes come and go. The sand quality is pretty coarse - definitely not the best. Certain areas are dog friendly (on leash). Other areas allow fishing. Check out the D'lish snack bar for food, drink and live music (in the evenings). Pretty much a private beach for those living in the community and a hidden gem for the rest of the island.

My family & friend have come here to rent the pontoon boats over a dozen times! Every time has been…read morea BLAST! First off, you do need someone to sponsor you on base if you don't have a military ID since the boat harbor is located on base. Secondly, to rent the boat, someone in your party needs to get their boat license. Prior to the pandemic, they allowed 12 passengers on each boat but, have now cut it down to 10 ppl. It's $180 to rent the boat for a total of 4 hours from dock to dock. The times are 8am-12pm and 1pm-4pm. Once checked in, you will be given a quick review on how to operate the boat, directions on how to get to the sandbar. Once everyone and everything is loaded on, you're free to go!! Things to pack: sunscreen, snacks, lunch, water/drinks, floaties, and any other water toys you'd like to play with! You can even bring your furry friend(s) if you want! The one thing you CANNOT bring is alcohol. If you are caught with alcohol on the boat, the person with the boat license WILL lose their boat license for life! Pro tip: there are air compressors available for you to use to blow up your floaties and life jackets you can borrow for children. They also have wagons to haul your stuff between the dock and boat. Once out there, there's many other boats and places to anchor. Just make sure you are at least 20 feet away from the next boat. The water level depends on the time of day and year. There were a couple times I've gone and the sand is literally out of the water, most times it was a couple to a few feet deep. You should start packing up and heading back to the marina around 30 minutes before the end of your time frame to ensure you get back in time. Once in the marina, an MWR worker will flag you down and guide you in to your final destination. Overall, it's always a treat to be able to go to the sandbar with friends and/or family!

The current here is strong so it's not for little ones. If you do bring little ones, make sure they have a floatie or something to help them. My son had a blast on a floatie just near the shore break. Pretty big waves. Plenty of parking on a weekday and it's right off the freeway. We also snorkeled and saw some fish. They have showers as well and I didn't see any sketchy people while we were there.

Cons: The grass and parking lot between the sand and street badly need garbage pickup. Unused shopping cart in the grassy area. A homeless issue. The restrooms are disgusting and heavily vandalized. No soap in the sinks, no towels. I would not bring a woman here or bring my family. For the life of me, I'm baffled why a state park system can't keep up with clean restrooms, given all the hotel taxes, rental taxes, and airport taxes charged to visitors needing basic facilities as a matter of survival. Not everybody can or wants to stay at the Four Seasons (which is terrific). There isn't a job at a resort for every local resident. Ordinary people need to use restrooms and clean themselves afterwards. If the City of Paris can provide terrific self-cleaning portable facilities, with far more inhabitants, then the state of Hawaii can do it, too. Don't give us that BS that "it's not in the budget." I don't mind paying five dollars or something to use the bathrooms or for a pass. The National Park System does a vastly better job.
