Diamond Head Beach

  • Address: At base of Diamond Head. Park at the crest of Diamond Head Rd. and walk down, Honolulu, HI | Map It

Fodor's Review:

You have to like hiking to like Diamond Head Beach. This beautiful, remote spot is at the base of Diamond Head crater. The beach is just a small strip of sand with lots of coral in the water. This said, the natural views looking out from the point are breathtaking, and it's amazing to watch the windsurfers skimming along, driven by the gusts off the point. From the parking area, look for an opening in the wall where an unpaved trail leads down to the beach. Even for the unadventurous, a stop at the lookout point is well worth the time.
