Pokai Bay Beach Park Information
Pokai Bay Beach Park Information
Pokai is Hawaiiain for "Night of the Supreme One," and this beach is named after the legendary Hawaiian chief who reportedly brought the first coconut palm tree to Hawaii.
Unlike other Oahu west coast beaches that experience high surf in winter, this one is a calm bay that is well protected all year long. A gently sloping coral reef helps to guard the sandy beach and quiet waters and makes snorkeling very popular.
Swimming areas are marked by buoys and you need to watch out for boat and canoe traffic in the immediate vicinity. There are lifeguards on duty, picnic areas, barbecue grills, and restroom and shower facilities.
Waianae locals hold this area in high regard so enjoy the natural beauty, but also be respectful of the neighborhood and make sure to clean up after your day at the beach.
