Like so many other beach spots Laie is very beautiful. Go here for small waves seclusion and shady areas. There are no services and there is no parking lot. We found produce and coffee stand across the road...my preference is for wcs parking and showers, but it is a neat stop/hike. read more

Nothing could be improved. Matter is it's a small beach that most local want to be staying that way and not turned into an over populated destination. That's is why I won't recommend this place. read more

Came on a Saturday in May, stayed until Sunday, one night exactly. At night, they lock the parking lot up, so you can't drive your car away after 10pm or so. My friend who booked the site, said it was $50 a night and that every camp spot could only have 3 cars reserved in the lot, with pieces of paper on the dashboard, indicating such. There are a few sites that're smaller, in the grass, and then there's a giant family lot, for big events. When we went, there was apparently a giant AA family camping gathering happening, with lots of music and people. There is little to no privacy using trees at this camp ground. I didn't go in the water, but some people were out there splashing around. I was told that there's no much to see if you decide to go snorkeling here. The bathrooms were managed okay, with real plumbing and lit up at night, and seemed to be cleaned often, but bring your own soap/hand sanitizer! Also, bring toilet paper because these bathrooms run out of it fast, as the day goes on. The worst part of the camp grounds was just waking up with a bunch of ants in my tent that were trying to get away from the sun, as well as the drunken house party across the street from the camp grounds that ended in broken beer bottles and lots of shouting and screaming. read more

***Pre COVID-19 Visit*** This is a really nice beach and they have shower facilities. It doesn't get too crowded, but I imagine on the weekends it may obviously get more people. You'll at times feel that you're probably the only one here, but that's okay. Watch out for the twigs and cones on the sand! They can be very sharp and painful if you step on them. It's a beach where mainly locals gather, but the water is a bit rocky for me. Other than that, it's close to the Polynesian Cultural Center so you might as well grab some Dole Whip! Plus, just head on over to Kahuku to get some shrimp since you're close by:o) Mahalo!!! read more

Fine sand. Lots of shade. Beach all to yourself. Now doesn't this seem like a beach you wanna go to? This beach is not too far from PCC and you might not think that this was a beach at first glance because of the big grassy area but that's because it's a beach park. Mind you I knocked off a couple stars cause it's more park than beach. If you are trying to tan, I don't know if this beach is for you. The times I've been here, I haven't even touched sun. There are so much trees surrounding the area that it gives you a great deal of shade. But that could be a plus, depending on how you see it. I love how fine the sand is here. Some beaches have really coarse sand. Again, it's about your personal preferences. I haven't seen this place crowded. With that being said, there are good chances that you can have a portion of beach to yourself. I find that pretty awesome and relaxing at the same time. I only wished I didn't live so far away from here. These are one of those places you go just to get away from the hustle and bustle of the real world. Sometimes you just need to find a place like that. This is one of those places. read more

One of the most beautiful and quiet beaches on Oahu. My family rented a beach house on this beach and didn't see more than 4 people besides our group the whole 4 days we were there. Laie is located on the North Shore of O'ahu. It's one of my happy places. read more

This is a great beach park. My brother told us about this spot and we came here and it was so beautiful. There is no reef, so it's sandy bottom. The beach was also really quiet when we came, we were almost the only people on the beach (it can be a scary thing, for some). There are nice ammenities here such as restrooms, and a shower. The restrooms are pretty clean for a beach park bathroom. I've seen and smelled some NASTY ones. The only downside is that it's really far drive. And that the tons of trees make a lot of rubbish so be careful of the mini pine cones, and the sticks lol. Plenty of parking here. And you're not that far from the shopping center, so you're close to civilization and can go get food. I say since you made it this far, might as well go up and get Giovanni's shrimp lol. read more

This is a great camping spot (if your lucky) with a great beach. There are only five camping spots. 2 and 3 are on top of the burm. You have a commanding veiw of the beach but are more susceptible to high winds at these two spots so dont forget your tie downs. 1,3 and 5 are on the grass area protected by the burm from the onshore winds. Park workers remove and replace trash bags every morning along with shooting down the restooms. That is when they are the cleanest. It gets pretty bad durring the day. The campgrounds get pretty crowded especially durring a holiday weekend and the sanitary conditions sometimes get overbearing. Really good beach for the kids. Look for sand crabs at night with flashlights. Now, it depends when you go and who's camping next to you. The proximity to the next camper is a lot bigger than Bellows but sometimes when we went, there were people partying til the wee hours of the morning with music fricking blaring. I dont know about you but I like it quiet especially when night falls. Not too loud but acceptable loud. Not where you can just make out what your partner just said. Sometimes you luck out and the other campers are on the same page as you. All you hear is the kids having fun. (Bliss) nothing can beat that type of noise. We went there 7/6/13 and this time it was loud generators, loud music, yelling all through the night plus someone was setting off fireworks too at 10:00 at night! WTF! Durring the day there was a jet ski towing kids on this inflatable chair all around the bay and along the shoreline. They were even riding it at night. It was a cloudy moonless night. I couldn't see it but I could hear it. The gates close at 7:30pm so get your ice or whatever before then. The gate does open earlier than it supposed to at 6:00am. So it really depends who's camping when you do. Also, this is a five day camping spot so its $50.00 no matter if you stay for two days its still $50.00 Happy camping! read more

Even though we went on a rainy weekend, our experience camping at this beach park was great! Make sure to buy your permit ahead of time online. There are only 6 camping spots available at this park. We were hoping to camp on the ridge with a view of the ocean but you need to camp lower, closer to the parking lot. The bathrooms are pretty clean! There was toilet paper when we went but bring your own just in case. You will need to bring soap or hand sanitizer for the bathroom as well. There is a working sink to wash dishes in and a couple of fire pits. There are no picnic tables at each site so bring your own if needed! The beach is beautiful here with great views. The park was safe and the gates to the parking lot close each night at 7 pm. There is a parking lot for the beach park that stays open in case you have guests leaving late. This beach park allows dogs. We camped with ours but that might be against the rules.... (We have two quiet, small dogs!) read more

A Favorite beach! Very quiet aside from the weekend BBQ's. You can feel like you own your own private beach at Koko beach! Us locals call it pinecones with all of the tiny pinecones everywhere. Great for toughening up your feet! I used these for decoration one Christmas after rolling a few handfuls in glitter. So cute! This beach has rocks to the right and a tiny place for Kiki to swim. Great swimming in the middle section. Good for boogie boarding and laps. Waves out to the left with more big rocks. This is a beautiful place, a favorite! read more

Laie Beach Park - The view from site #2 and site #3... Good stuff :) - Parks Near Me - Kailua, Hawaii

Visited this beach on a Thursday morning and is was very quiet. Only about 3-4 other people on the beach, some just walking around and one other relaxing and watching the waves. Also a good place to camp or do some recreational sports activities on the wide lawns nearby. Plenty of parking (though it likely fills up on weekends). Beach itself is beautiful and nice trees that surround it. read more

While I hate camping, my family loves it so I only go to be with them. With that being said, Kokololio was a great place to camp. The weather was great, there was a lot of shade, but not too much wind so at times it got pretty hot. Let's tackle the "elephant in the room" question when it comes to camping, the homeless. Surprisingly the entire weekend we had stayed I didn't see any homeless hanging out in the bathroom or making a scene maybe a few here and there just riding their bikes with cans. The bathrooms were fairly clean (saw janitors cleaning and emptying trash one to two times daily). It's also close to the Polynesian cultural center, which means access to food and coffee! I even went to the Courtyard Marriott right next door to PCC for breakfast and coffee! read more

We visited this beach on Friday afternoon and it was quiet and there were maybe ten people on the beach. On Saturday afternoon we went back and there were dozens of people and it was very loud. The noise was mostly people talking real loud and kids yelling and screaming. The beach itself is beautiful. The sand is like powder and the water was refreshing. There is a rest room for changing. If we come back to this island in the future we will definitely be back, during the week. Bring your chair, food, water, towels. There is a lot of shade available, if that is important to you. read more

This may be an ok place for camping, but my friends and I were here for a day party. It was very crowded with people camping and the camping area was not in sight of the ocean. There is a small bluff obscuring the view of the ocean if you are in the camping area. The shoreline was not that wide, approximately 5 yards of sand, and the water was green and not the cleanest water you can find on the north shore. read more
