Ala Moana Beach
Ala Moana Beach is popular with swimmers and local families
because it is protected from the ocean waves by a reef and
the water is almost always calm.

Ala Moana Beach is a man-made beach inside
Ala Moana Regional Park in Honolulu.
The beach is about half a mile long.
Swimming Conditions at Ala Moana Beach
The water is usually calm at Ala Moana Beach,
and it is generally safe for swimming, but
children and inexperienced swimmers should
stay close to shore. The bottom
drops off quickly and the former boat channel off-shore
is as deep as 25 feet in some places.
There can also be strong currents and
rapid tide changes near the reef
so it is safest to swim near the shore.
Swimming would be very dangerous, and is not allowed,
in the busy boat channels on both end of the park
(the Kewalo Basin and the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor).
