Oneʻula Beach, Sandy beach in Honolulu County, United States.
Oneʻula Beach is a sandy shore on the southern coast of Honolulu County with soft sand and regular wave patterns. The shoreline extends for several hundred meters and provides a natural setting for swimming and water activities along the Pacific Ocean.
The beach was originally part of rural life in the region and transformed into a recreational destination during the 20th century. This shift from a quieter coastal area to a place for public use shaped the landscape visible today.
Native Hawaiian families maintain traditional fishing practices at Oneʻula Beach, passing knowledge of marine resources to younger generations.
The beach is easily accessible during daylight hours with basic facilities including restrooms and showers on site. It is best to arrive in the morning to enjoy calmer conditions and find available parking.
From this beach you can see both the Honolulu skyline and Diamond Head while still feeling separated from the city bustle. This blend of proximity to famous landmarks and a quieter setting catches many visitors off guard.
