Ala Moana Beach Park is a free public park on the island of Oahu, right
across the Ala Moana Mall and Ward Mall. It is a walking distance from
Waikiki, Chinatown and Aloha tower. This park has a wide man-made
gold-sand beach that is over a half-mile long.
The water is almost always calm because the beach is protected by an
outer reef. This makes it a good spot for beginners in SUP and surfing, long-distance swimmers and
small children. There is a 25-foot-deep swimming channel and a
former boat channel that was dredged out of the reef. Ala Moana's ocean bottom drops quickly, so novice swimmers should use
caution.
