Oahu's beaches are ideal for spending time with family, providing plenty of space for the kids to run around while you relax. If you're looking into beachfront vacation rentals complete with spectacular views and convenient water access for your next trip, here are some of the best spots on the island. 

3 Family-Friendly Beaches on Oahu

1. Baby Makapu'u

Tide pools attract families to the shores of Baby Makapu'u. The shallow pools are perfect for little ones to wade in and spot small fish. Parents can kick back on the sand and enjoy a clear view of the Makapu'u Lighthouse.

2. Hanauma Bay

If local marine life interests your little ones, then Hanauma Bay is the place to go. The first Marine Life Conservation District in Hawaii is home to approximately 400 different species of fish as well as green sea turtles. Older kids can snorkel to explore the reef, though the water is clear enough to view the underwater world from above. As the bay is clearest in the morning, plan an outing shortly after breakfast for the most memorable experience. 

3. Waikiki Beach

The long, open stretches of sand make Waikiki Beach popular with kids of all ages. Young surfers will enjoy the gentle waves that give plenty of space to gain momentum. Beginner classes are available for those who want to try their hand at the sport.
