Kuhio Beach Park, Public beach park in Waikiki, United States.
Kuhio Beach Park is a public beach along the Waikiki shoreline featuring sand, palm trees, and designated swimming zones. The grounds include lifeguard stations, outdoor showers, restrooms, and picnic facilities positioned near dining and retail options.
The land was once owned by Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana'ole, who removed a fence in 1918 to open the beach to the public. That action transformed this location into one of Honolulu's most accessible shores.
The park features statues honoring important Hawaiian figures and their connection to the islands. Visitors encounter these monuments naturally while walking along the shore.
The beach is well equipped with showers, restrooms, and lifeguards present throughout the day. It helps to arrive early to secure good spots and avoid the midday heat.
The Stones of Life monument features basaltic stones honoring four ancient healers who legend says traveled from distant lands to Hawaii. This story remains overlooked by many visitors passing by.
