And Just across the Bay is Ewa Beach…

Not far from the sprinkling of high-profile locales that give Oahu its edge as a failsafe vacation destination is a quieter but perhaps equally capable little region that will most certainly make you happy to have made your way across the sea. The Southern shores of this attractive isle make a fine place to steal away for a few days, particularly when you aren’t giving up any conveniences or access to those diversions you’ve been daydreaming about.

It’s known for being especially sunny, a feature you’ll certainly welcome no matter where you’re coming from. Your days will be spent doing as you please, with the shorelines offering up chances for swimming, snorkeling, fishing and boating. These beaches are far more tranquil than nearby Waikiki, which you can literally see across the bay, but instead of feeling that you’re missing out on something you’ll be happy to have stumbled upon this separate but equal locale.

Several golf courses, shops, a movie theater, plenty of restaurants and an appealing sampling of vacation condos that accentuate the positives even further are a few more details to look forward to, not to mention fun stuff like the Honolulu Zoo, Bishop Museum, Kahana Valley State Park and Hawaiian Waterworks, a riot of a water park located right here in Ewa Beach.

Warm dry weather, attractions both near and far and a consistently “away from it all” vibe cover all the vacation bases, so praise yourself in advance for being a savvy traveler who knows how to take care of business.
