Kahana Bay Beach Park is on the eastern side of Oahu, known as the Windward Side, between Waikiki and the North Shore. This small beach is one of the best-kept secrets and worth a stop if you are sightseeing on this side of the island. Surrounded by the majestic Ko'olau Mountains, the crescent shaped Kahana Bay Beach is great for kayaking (if you bring your own kayak), fishing, swimming and snorkeling (especially in summer on a cloudless day), paddleboarding, and sunbathing. On the south end of Kahana Bay Beach Park is Huilua Fishpond, an ancient Hawaiian Fishpond that is a National Historic Landmark and no longer in working condition but still worth visiting as it is one of only six remaining fishponds on the island and gives insight into Hawaiian people’s aquafarming practices. Amenities include picnic tables, outdoor showers, restrooms, boat ramp, and parking.
