Kahana Beach Park, Oahu

Kahana Bay curves between steep green ridges at the mouth of Kahana Valley, with a sandy shore backed by ironwood trees. The setting and shade make it a pleasant stop for a picnic or a walk along the bay. Stream runoff often clouds the water, so the scenery is more of a draw here than snorkeling. The beach forms the coastal edge of Ahupuaa O Kahana State Park.
