Go towards the rocks where people are jumping in the water from the rocks and snorkel on the other side. The water is pretty deep, which is good with snorkeling since the sand won't be getting all stirred up. We saw some amazing fish and turtles in this spot. At one point my wife touched my foot to get my... More

We visited this beautiful day on a lovely day in mid-May. The skies were blue, the water calm and clear, and the beach wasn't very crowded. Lots of families here having a good time. Still had to watch the children closely as it was rough right at the shore break. The beach is very sandy, but drops off quickly. There... More

The day we visited, the riptides kept us out of the water and off "Jump Off" rock. The beach park has picnic tables, and lots of shade. The beach is beautiful.

Definitely spend some time at this beach! It's right near the Waimea Valley Waterfalls park. Lots of sand, mild surf, and blue waters.

This was a beautiful beach. The water was warm and the waves were mild, but through you around just enough to have fun! Yes, there were a lot of people on this beach, but it didn't feel crowded like some of the others do. Can easily walk over to the Waimea Valley Adventure Park for a snack or to check... More

Came here with 9, 11, 13 yo kids. Great beach. Get there early for easy parking. Umbrella nice too as sun can be intense.

Clean beach, pristine beautiful water, pretty location and views. Could have spent the whole afternoon here but wanted to fit in Waimea Falls Park just across the way a bit - in retrospect I probably would have opted to just stay here. This was one of the best beaches I've seen on Oahu. No wonder it was mentioned in the... More

We spent a lovely morning at Waimea Bay with our children recently. The views are spectacular and the beach is beautiful! The waves were not very big and the children had a lovely time playing in them. Tricky to find a park
