Camp Right By The Ocean At This Incredible Beach Destination In Hawaii

With endless summer weather comes endless opportunities for summer activities: surfing, snorkeling, hiking, and perhaps my favorite — camping trips. While the islands are home to countless inland campgrounds — usually at our incredible state parks — perhaps even better is pitching your tent in the sand, listening to the waves crash against the shore while you fall asleep, and jumping into the ocean just seconds after you wake up.

You will undoubtedly find beach campgrounds across the Hawaiian Islands, but this one on Oahu’s windward coast is one of our absolute favorites.

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

Welcome to the beautiful Bellows Field Beach Park, a secluded slice of paradise perfect for a weekend spent getting in touch with nature.

Located between the wildly popular Lanikai and Waimanalo Beaches on Oahu’s windward coast, Bellows Field Beach Park is home to crystalline blue water and fine, white sand. Basically, Bellows is what everyone pictures when they think of Hawaii.

During the week, Bellows is is closed to the public and is used as an active military training area…

...but on the weekends, between Friday and Sunday, this is easily our favorite Hawaii beach and campground.

In addition to fifty campsites between the road and the beach, you will find two comfort stations, outdoor showers, two lifeguard towers, and a parking lot.

There's truly no better place to spend your weekend. Just imagine waking up to watch the sun rise through the trees...

...spending your day swimming in the brilliant blue waters of the Pacific Ocean...

....and walking along the beach that seemingly stretches on for miles and miles.

Bellows Field Beach Park is open for the weekends after noon on Fridays and is located at 41-043 Kalanianaole Hwy., Waimanalo, HI 96795. Click here for more information or to reserve a campsite. Remember that because the beach is only open on weekends, it is best to reserve your campsite in advance!
