Swanzy Beach Park was created in the 1920's
after Julie Judd Swanzy donated five acres
of land she inherited from her father Gerrit Judd,
to the City and county of Honolulu for the purpose
of creating a beach park. The park was given
the name "Julie Judd Swanzy Park" in 1950, and now
it is simply known as Swanzy Beach Park.
There is not much of a beach at Swanzy Beach Park,
because most of it has been washed away,
and a seawall has been built to protect
the park from further erosion. If you swim here, be
careful, because there are many rocks
in the sand. Facilities at Swanzy Beach Park
include restrooms, showers, a children's playground,
picnic tables, and nine camp sites. Note that camping is only
allowed Friday through Sunday night.
Swanzy Beach Park is not the best place for swimming, but
it is a popular spot for fishing and octopus gathering.
