Our Waimanalo vacation rentals supply a plentiful coastline to explore as views of the Koolau mountains dot the distant horizon. This includes captivating scenery in the midst of seclusion on Oahu's east side.
Things to Do
Take seemingly endless walks on Waimanalo and Makaupu'u beach from one of our Waimanalo beach rentals or spend a day participating or watching bodysurfing, bodyboarding, or fishing, both with beach park facilities (lifeguards, restrooms, showers, etc. ). Waimanolo Beach Park is excellent for swimming.
Makaupu'u Beach offers hours of activity alongside a wild cliffside setting. Rabbit Island (Manana Island), a seabird sanctuary, is visible in the distance. Rewarding walks lead to Makapu'u Point, Hawaii's easternmost spot, with a bonus, a trail (almost two miles) that ends at the Makapu'u Lighthouse. More islands visible from this location, Kaohikaipu Island, Lanai, Molokai, Maui. While the Lighthouse is not open to the public, more areas to explore include the Makai Pier (State Research Pier) and Kaupo Beach Park.
Olomana Golf Links is a golf course in Waimanolo that offers visitor specials. Sea Life Park Hawaii is a structured way for families to see and interact with dolphins, sea lions, stingrays, and marine life through the site's various programs.
Eat and Shop
Waimanalo's rural town setting is an easy drive to Kailua. Local farms growing fruits and vegetables are part of the town's charm and produce is available for purchase on-site. A Waimanalo rental is convenient for quick meals at mainstream restaurants. Fine dining, shopping for gifts and groceries are all best in nearby Kailua.
Getting Around
Rental car is best in Waimanalo, especially to visit the local beaches, farms, and shops and restaurants in neighboring towns.Latest Waimanalo Articles
