The 100-acre Ala Moana Beach Park is a sunbather's paradise with a half-mile of sandy shore and peaceful ocean views. The calm beach is a favorite of swimmers who practice long-distance laps and paddle boarders who prefer still waters. Kid-friendly in every way, this free public park in busy Honolulu is a sanctuary for family beach gatherings. Island residents love to picnic on weekends, play tennis on 10 lighted courts, and jog the park's 2.6-mile perimeter.
