Sand Island State Recreation Area Garden

Sand Island State Recreation Area is an arid, urban coastal park run by Hawaii State Parks, in a heavily industrialized area close to Honolulu's urban core and the airport flight path. It fronts a small sand beach with views of Honolulu Harbor and ocean sunsets, and people come for picnics, walks, shore fishing and board surfing. It sits next to the Sand Island off-highway vehicle riding area, with tracks for motorized vehicles and BMX bikes. The comfort stations are closed until further notice, with portable toilets at each one, and camping is closed for now. When camping reopens, it is by permit on Friday through Sunday nights. DLNR has a project to assess the condition of the park's aging World War II-era historic structures and gather community input on their next steps. Pets, smoking, littering and motorized vehicles are not allowed in the park.
