Bellows Field Beach Park

This popular east side park is a great swimming beach protected by an offshore reef and a great sunbathing beach with soft, white sand. The shallow water and consistent shore break are often utilized by beginner surfers and bodyboarders.

Bellows Field Beach Park usually provides calm water conditions unless the ocean waves are large. This is a great beach for a long walk along beautiful Waimanalo Bay or just relaxing on the white sand beach, though it is not such a great beach for snorkeling. Ironwood trees along the beach provide plenty of shady areas. Bellows Field Beach Park is just one of three prominent beaches on the expansive Waimanalo Bay. The other two are Waimanalo Bay Beach Park and Waimanalo Beach Park.
