Secrets of Hawaii : Waimea Bay Beach
Park |
|
Description:
Remember those long summer days when you where
a kid. Playing in the water, running through the park and enjoying
life. Why not make a stop at Waimea Bay such a day for your
kids to remember. Spend the morining at Waimea Valley Audubon
Center and take a dip in the pool of Waihi Falls. Then head down to Waimea beach park.
It is a nice place to spend the day
soaking up the Hawaiian Rays. Relax on the beach during the day while
letting your kids play in the surf when the ocean is calm. Then grill
up a BBQ dinner in the park as the sun sets on the sea. Waimea beach
offers a wide beach backed by a park with picnic areas and
restrooms. So pack up the portable grill and ice cooler and head on
over to Waimea beach park.
Note: Because of
the small parking lot and the popularity of this beach, parking can
be a hassle. |
