This past Sunday Brian and I went to visit Bellows Airforce Station beach. It’s right before you get to Waimanalo (where we picked up our table and went to the farm). Brian and I are completely puzzled why this beach isn’t more popular. It’s only open on the weekends; during the week they use it for training purposes. On the weekends there is no guard checking IDs to the main beach. Ample parking and facilities. The surf is a little higher but nothing more than we’d see at, say, misquamicut. There are lifeguards. Picnic tables and grills.
Again, this is a SUNDAY. Where is everyone? Maybe Hawaii’s best kept secret. It’s a good thing these guys are scared of me, because they blend in so well I could barely see him.
I really wanted to go to check out the “market”. I am betting before COVID it was a little more happening, but for now it was 4-5 vendors and two food stations. The chicken meal we got from here was DELICIOUS.
And we got Elote Corn from here, it was good but a bit pricey for the size.
We could see this being a place to organize a BBQ and beach day with some friends. It’s super quiet, plenty of parking and space. We honestly don’t know why more people don’t come here, except maybe the drive?
