Keʻehi Lagoon Beach, Public beach park near Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, United States.
Keʻehi Lagoon Beach is a public beach park on the shore of Keʻehi Lagoon in Honolulu, next to Sand Island. Its grounds hold tennis courts, athletic fields and several picnic areas, and the lagoon water is sheltered. The site lies in Honolulu County, Hawaii, about 7,800 km from Washington, D.C.
The area developed into a public recreation park after serving traditional purposes for many years. Nearby Mokauea Island maintains one of the last traditional Hawaiian fishing settlements on Oahu.
The lagoon takes its name from Keʻehi, the area adjoining Sand Island where outrigger canoe clubs train and hold regattas. Nearby Mokauea Island, reached from the lagoon, keeps one of Oahu's last traditional Hawaiian fishing settlements, where families continue fishing and tending fishponds.
The area is accessible during daylight hours and offers amenities such as restrooms, showers, and picnic tables for longer visits. Keep in mind that aircraft traffic can be frequent and loud, particularly during takeoff and landing operations.
Visitors can watch planes taking off and landing while relaxing or using the water for recreation. The constant flow of aircraft overhead creates an unusual feature that sets this place apart from other beaches.
