Aloha Friday golfers. Once again Hawaii has the #1 Beach in the USA.
Dr Beach put our local beach the tops in the country. This beach is a 2 minute walk from Hawaii Tee times office. Guess where we go after work? Don't forget to visit Dukes Barefoot Bar when you are here. NO SHOES PLEASE.
Kanhanamoku Beach is located at the west end of Waikiki Beach, far from the large crowds elsewhere. It is widest beach on this stretch of famous sands and protected by an offshore coral reef, making it a good beach for families with children. This is a safe beach with no known drownings. Official lifeguards are not present, but the beach and pool concessionaires have lifeguard training. The nearby Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon is also a favorite bathing and swimming spot. Public access is via Kalia Road and Pahoa Place. Surprising to most visitors, this beautiful beach where smoking is not permitted, was created more than half a century ago by dredging through the shallow reef and importing sand.
