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 as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
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.
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.
Camping is permitted by permit only and will set you back approximately $32 for a three-day pass (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). Each campsite can accommodate 10 people, two tents, and three cars.
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!
