About This Place

This stretch of Waimānalo Bay fronts the Sherwood Beach Recreation Area, part of the City beach park once called Waimānalo Bay Beach Park and now named Hūnānāniho. The City lists the park on Aloiloi Street in Waimānalo. The State lists lifeguards at Waimanalo Bay every day, and the Honolulu Ocean Safety Department keeps a lifeguard tower at the park. This is the windward shore, where strong trade winds can create large, rough waves, so talk to the lifeguard before you swim. The park closes overnight, and the parking lot, pedestrian gate and comfort stations close in the evening. The City runs a campground here, and a beach access mat leads to a viewing point.
