BELLOWS BEACH

The serenity here is unlike any other on Oahu. I absolutely love the clear water, white sand, and vast location. Even on holidays, it doesn’t get too crowded. This is great for those who want to be at an off-the-grid beach. Be weary, lifeguards are not widespread. Most times, there are Portuguese man-o-war (A blue type of jellyfish) that can sting humans and ongoing current conditions posted along the beach. This beach is absolutely gorgeous on a sunny day and at times, feels surreal. The fine sand and pristine water is a great place for couples or families.

This beach has two entrances; A public (AKA Sherwoods) and a military (AKA Bellows) side – same stretch of beach just different names/entrances. The public side is located on the same street as the Waimanalo McDonald’s. As you keep driving down the road on McDonald’s you will see a fence at the end with cars parked -You’re in the right location. The military side – There is a sign that says ‘Bellows Air Force Station’. One must have a Military ID card to get through the guarded gate.
