Ko Olina Lagoon II

Finding public parking at this beach park is an exercise in futility as the limited 18 spots are usually occupied. You'll either have to shell out cash to park across the street or embark on a long drive to locate additional public parking. However, once you do manage to arrive, you'll be greeted with a family-friendly lagoon that's perfect for young children.

Indeed, it is true that the lagoons are open to the public, and we were thrilled to experience them for the first time. Despite staying in a hotel in Waikiki, we were eager to witness the renowned beauty of the resort's lagoons. After parking across the street and paying for our spot, we followed the side path that led us directly to the first lagoon. Throughout the day, we explored the second and third lagoons as well, all of which were stunning and perfect for swimming, playing in the sand, taking leisurely strolls, and even soaking up some sun. We indulged in snacks and refreshments from the nearby shops and restaurants, and the sunset views from any of the lagoons were truly breathtaking. We cannot wait to return to this idyllic setting.

The beach is a sight to behold! We strolled through the Disney resort and pool area with ease, even with a stroller in tow, to reach the beach. The lagoon is simply breathtaking, with its serene and warm waters and stunning vistas. Although we did not stay at the hotel, it appeared that one could rent an umbrella, chair, or cabana. However, we opted to simply lounge on the beach. The staff were incredibly affable and directed us to the beach with a smile.

Be prepared to face resistance from the security team if you plan on using a beach umbrella or sunshade for sun protection. It seems that only hotel guests are permitted to enjoy this luxury, as evidenced by the numerous umbrellas set up at Disney and Four Seasons. As a result, local residents like us are forced to endure the scorching sun if we wish to enjoy the lovely beach.

The Four Lagoons offer a delightful experience of swimming and unwinding on the sandy shores. The beach is open to the public, which means you can enjoy the lagoons without having to stay at the nearby resorts. However, the only drawback is parking, which can be a challenge. You may have to arrive early to secure a spot or opt for paid parking near the shops and restaurants.
