Kea’au Beach Park

I just wanna write this quick.
As of today, 02÷11÷16 this hard to reach beach (I could break out in a rap tune here, but I just wanna get this in) is a two star beach, with only five reviews.
I just laugh.
Two of the one star reviews are because the writers (I use this word liberally!) want it to stay secluded! Man, where’s the Aloha in that?
You gotta drive all the way to the west side, and just past Kaneana Cave you’ll see the beach. It will be empty (what’s not to like if you want time alone or with the SO). White sand with pristine waves, turquoise water, great foamy white wash, and extended soft sandy bottom, or you can stay in Waikiki.
Plan a day (I’ll do it for you!):
Explore Kaneana Cave;
Hike up Upper Makua Caves;
Hit Kea’au beach!!!;
Take a refreshing shower at any of the other beach parks on your way back to Waianae (Kea’au Beach has no showers, and don’t forget beach towels!);
Hit up Eli’s for some great, cheap, local grindz.
If you start early? You’ll have time for a nap in the afternoon, and all evening to thank me.
Man! This stuff is easy!
Aloha

We arrived shortly after midnight and set up for the weekend, the sounds of the waves breaking just 100 feet from us was the most relaxing thing for us! We lounged through our first night! The downfalls: the bathroom was disgusting, there were big water bugs about two inches long all over the walls and floor! The camp sites nearest to the bathrooms were saturated in pee water that was draining from the comfort stations and you can smell the nastiness from the bathroom 5 sites away!

Giving it 1 star, I figure the lower the rating, the less people will find it on Unilocal

Sunday March 22, 2015 I arrived at Kea’au Beach Park to celebrate my little niece’s second birthday.
It was hot and slightly windy on this day. There are camping areas as well as restroom facilities (I have not visited the restroom). I witnessed people enjoying the beach near the sand area and also witnessed a male surfer riding the waves. There were several people admiring the view of the ocean… myself included.
I’m unsure of whose in charge of taking care of the beach parks but I noticed that majority of the grass area was all brown. Just certain areas had the nice green grass.
Many years ago Kea’au Beach Park was crowded with homeless individuals. Now that the park is free of the homeless it just needs to be up kept with the grounds keeping. Make the place more presentable then there will be more family gatherings of picnics or parties. Of course everyone must do their share of cleaning up the area for future uses.

The main purpose of this beach park would be camping or stopping by to slurp down the plate lunch or shave ice you picked up in Waianae (hello picnic tables). There is a nice sandy beach that seems almost untouched relative to the more popular beach to the south. If my knee could tolerate tent camping (acl reconstruction has failed 2x), I would go for spot 4 as it is the least central. Beautiful backdrop and views from 360 degrees.

Definitely not Waikiki. This place is awesome. No one comes here, at least on a weekday. If it weren’t for the sounds of crashing waves and fowl, I could probably hear myself think. Lots of real estate for visitors. Bathrooms. The social scene is minimal, so I’m giving it 1 star, because I don’t want socialites and hipsters to think this park is cool and then come here and ruin the vibe.
