Even the locals love this beachside camping spot. The shallow water near the shore is good for wading if you avoid the sharp coral and rocks in some spots. This is an especially great place for snorkeling where you might even see the state fish—the triggerfish—or parrotfish or unicornfish. This is also a great place to windsurf. Unfortunately, with the wind often comes rain, so be sure to bring a durable tent.
Found near Waianae on the west shore of Oahu, Kea’au Beach Park, is a popular camping spot for visitors into blue water, striking sunsets, and nature. It includes picnic tables, restrooms, and showers. The campsite is grassy but near the ocean, it is reportedly a bit rocky. On the far north end of the park, you will find a large beach. Like the majority of the campsites here in Hawaii, a permit is required for camping.
