Description:
Ala Moana Beach Park is a free public beach located between Waikiki and downtown Honolulu. The beach is very popular among locals and a favorite spot for enjoying the sea. About 100 acres of gold sand that stretch half a mile, the beach is man-made created in the 1950's when the owner of the Dillingham Dredging Company was searching for a location to dispose of his dredged earth. The sand was dumped  in the park, creating the beach

The park has many facilities such as restrooms, showers, tennis courts, picnic tables and even a music pavilion. It is a great place for undertaking various water activities. The waters are often quite calm, making it ideal for swimming, particularly long-distance swimmers, novice swimmers, families and children. It is also great for jogging, surfing, skateboarding and other beach activities.

Novice swimmer need nevertheless be careful since the ocean bottom near the shore drops quickly. The east end of the beach is a lot more preferred and much safer as the ocean bottom is sandy without any reefs or rocks. In the middle section and the west end the bottom of the beach is rocky which makes entering the water quite tricky.

Ala Moana Beach Park also has big grassy areas, palm tree, and banyans making it an ideal location for barbecues, picnics, and for playing various beach games. Next to Ala Moana Beach Park is  "magic island" where various cultural events take place.

It's a beautiful park and first rate views and recreation area offering swimming, sunning, picnicking and socializing areas. There are shower facilities and a sandy beach. It borders the most popular shopping center in Oahu -- Ala Moana Center.

Just spent two weeks in Honolulu very close to this Beach Park
Overall:
Just spent two weeks in Honolulu very close to this Beach Park. We went there everyday early in the morning to swim and then later in the day to read and sit under the trees. It is by far my most favourite place to be when in Honolulu. Waikiki was lovely but this was magical. You have to swim here its lovely and very safe...

Ala Moana Beach has a lagoon that's always nice to swim
Overall:
Ala Moana Beach has a lagoon that's always nice to swim. The beach itself is never too crowded, stretching a long ways across the park. Maintained daily by local park crew, it's kept in beautiful condition.

Ala Moana Beach Park is a great place to take your family on the weekend
Overall:
Ala Moana Beach Park is a great place to take your family on the weekend. Thanks to the break walls, the water is always very calm which makes it a popular place for a lot of people to come swim "laps". Across the road there is a great park for BBQing, plus the snackbar always has delicious local foods. Most of the time during the day there are lifeguards on duty, and with the waters so calm and relatively ... moreshallow, you can feel secure with your children playing in the water.
