One of the most popular parks in Honolulu, Ala Moana Beach Park’s 76-acres fill daily with lawn bowlers, tennis players, joggers, picnickers, fishers, model airplane flyers, model boat sailors, sunbathers, surfers, and swimmers. The long sand beach in the park is especially attractive to families with young children who normally congregate at the east end of the beach where parking is plentiful and the ocean bottom is shallow and rock-free. Some of the south shore’s most famous surfing sites are found offshore at the edge of the reef, including Big Rights, Concessions, Courts, Big Lefts, and Baby Hale’iwa.

Magic Island with its own sand beach and lagoon is also popular with swimmers and sunbathers. Surfers ride a spot called Bomboras off the west end of Magic Island’s seawall, and on calm days, scuba divers frequent the reef off the east end.
