About Kualoa Regional Park, Hawaii

Kualoa Regional Park, Hawaii
 

Located on the windward coast of Oahu, Hawaii, Kualoa Regional Park spans a lush and serene shoreline with a view of the towering Koʻolau Mountains and wide stretches of sandy beach fronting Kaneohe Bay. The park provides a picturesque setting for watersports, picnicking, and beach recreation. The coastal area is part of a larger culturally important landscape known for its significant Hawaiian history and proximity to the private Kualoa Ranch, a popular filming site for movies and TV shows including Jurassic Park and Hawaii Five-0. Visitors can enjoy swimming, windsurfing, and kayaking in the protected bay waters, as well as fishing from the shoreline. The park’s open grassy areas and palm trees make it ideal for family outings and gatherings. While the site itself has limited developed hiking trails, it connects visually to the dramatic cliffs and valleys of the Koʻolau range, which offer hiking opportunities nearby. Kualoa Regional Park's combination of coastal beauty, recreational facilities, and cultural landmarks draws both locals and tourists seeking a tranquil outdoor experience on Oahu.
