OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Kaaawa Beach Park is a narrow but beautiful crescent of sand in Kaaawa
Town. Facilities include picnic tables and toilets. Note that dogs are
only allowed in Kaaawa Beach Park on the
ocean side of the high tide line, they must
be on a leash, and owners must pick up and
dispose of their dogs' waste.
The five acres of land that are known today
as Kaaawa Beach Park and Swanzy Beach Park
was given to the city of Honolulu in the
1920's by local heiress Julie Judd Swanzy,
in exchange for the city abandoning their
plans to build a public beach park near her
private country home in Kualoa. The original
name of Kaaawa Beach Park was Kaaawa-Iki
Park. |

PLEASE NOTE |

While
Hawaii's beaches can bring much enjoyment,
it is always a good practice to use common
sense while visiting them. Please be aware
of the wave & wind conditions before going
into the water. Mornings are usually best
for swimming, snorkeling or diving. Have
respect for the strength of the waves and be
aware that high surf can come up at any
time. NEVER turn your back to the ocean.
Be careful when exploring any rocky
shorelines. Waves can crash on the rocks and
knock you over easily, and the rocks may
also be sharp when walking on them.
When snorkeling or scuba diving, please have
respect for ocean life, and remember that
the coral reef is alive too. Avoid standing
on or touching if at all possible. |
