Kaiaka Bay Beach Park

Went snorkeling there today with the sea turtles!
Keep a respectful distance from them and enjoy.
Unbelievably, we were the only ones in the water.

My love of photography has brought me to many different locations on the island, but one of my favorites is Kaiaka Bay. Beautiful scenes abound with brilliant colors, textures and tones. This beach park is a bit off the beaten path, but well worth seeking out. Besides being a bit out of the way, Kaiaka benefits from being more in tune to a «locals» beach rather than a big tourist attraction. On any given day, you may catch a surf school giving a lesson or two, folks walking their dogs, local families having a picnic or barbecue, fishermen trying their luck or even divers taking their share of the ocean’s bounty. The clean, sandy beach gives way to an area that wields nice pieces of driftwood. Hobbyists and collectors can be found searching for that «perfect» piece for their collection! If you want to just have your lunch or dinner while watching the waves or sunset, there are tables to do so. Parking is plentiful, but as far as a comfort station goes, at the time of this writing, it was still unavailable due to a fire. Hopefully it will be rebuilt in the future. So if you’re looking to have an enjoyable beach visit, try my favorite on the North Shore and have a great time doing so!
Four Solid Stars * * * *

This could be decent, depends on your outdoor needs.
Large grassy area without many trees. Perfect for flying kites, having a picnic, playing a team game.
— 4 stars
Sand is rough or it is rocky on the beach. Also quite a few homeless «camping» around. That explains all the police around.
— 1 star
Overall vibe is kind of sketchy. It’s a no from me.

This is a nice small beach if you just want to get away not be too crowded while you’re over at the North Shore.
I usually come here with my dogs so they can run around and have fun in the water, the beach is located just outside of classic H-​town and offers a nice quite area. There is plenty of open grass and trees for shade or you can go down to the beach. The water is mostly rock and coral so watch out if you plan to swim. Overall I recommend tho place of your tired of the crowded beaches but as I mentioned before the only down fall is you don’t really have the nice blue water and there is a lot of rocks and coral so where your reef shoes.

Big beach park away from the crowds. Might not be the best for swimming, but is a great place to chill on the beach.

Just depending on which area of Kaiaka Bay Beach Park you go to. One side is nice & green with lots of shade and trees. The other side is bare, no shade, hot & lots of dust…
Well we were on that other side that was hot and dusty! We were out there fishing so we were prepared with a quick-​shade canopy & hats.
Not the best spot to fish, mainly because this side has lots of turtles that feed on seaweed that is fronting the reef ledge.

Nice park that was the site of the North Shore Marathon. Spent some time here with my husband that day. I have to say there was ample parking and the views were quite stunning. There weren’t too many people on the beach… more people were more concerned with getting to their Kahuku shrimp, Matsumoto/Aoki’s Shave Ice, or checking out the views elsewhere. Come here if you want a more local feel for your beach going needs. I’d come here again since it was nice and calm… no tourists to get in your way.

Site of the inaugural North Shore Marathon! What else can you say but what a way to start off running 26.2 miles!
