Our hotel had a very small workout room so I chose to run at Ala Moana Beach Park. I loved soaking in the local flavor: people fishing off of the shore, boot camps in the sand, tai chi in the park. There is nothing like seeing the ocean and breathing in the salty air as you run. Both paved running... More

We prefer to go to this beach during the week days. The beach area is very large with clean white sand. The water is clear and easy to swim in because of the reef that blocks the large waves. You can swim laps or just frolicke in the water or wind surf. Can use floatation devises including a raft. Lifeguards... More

We walked to this park, after visiting the Ala Moana Mall across the street. In the afternoon, the park was filled with people having picnics or exercising. Also there was a canoe club having competitions. More

It's a great beach, just like Waikiki. Across from the Ala Moana Shopping center, easy to get to. Popular with locals. More

While growing up, Ala Moana Beach Park was clean, beautiful, and the true family park to spend the day. After moving away for 30 years and returning, the park is now home to many homeless tents and camps. The grounds are not well maintained and no longer safe to walk after sunset. A tragedy. More

I loved going to this park at 7 am when all is sleeping! But there are people there already enjoying the ocean, walking, and taking lessons for paddling. Everyone seems so relaxed and happy and I loved taking an early morning swim. Then, afterwards I walked to the ala moana for coffee and a muffin! More
