Ka Makana Ali'i - The Center for West Oahu
Even though this beach is a little tricky to get to because it's on the same location as the Paradise Cove Luau, it's actually open to the public! But while you're at it, might as well go to the Paradise Cove Luau. It was my first luau, and was worth every moment. #LifeAtExpedia

Why not spend a lazy afternoon at Ko Olina Beach Park during your trip to Ko ʻOlina?

Ko Olina Beach Park
Ko Olina is my favorite golf course on the island. Nice driving range available to practice before you play. The greens and fairwarys are always well maintained and enjoyable. There are fabulous water features that make some holes more challenging and fun. All golf carts come with a GPS and water bottles. The pro shop staff are very helpful and friendly. The pro shop has everything you need in case you forgot something or want to go home with something with a cute ladybug logo. Don't forget Roy's at the 19th hole! Great place to relax with good food and drinks after a day of golfing heaven ⛳
