Exploring
O‘ahu’s Beaches
 Now completely revised and updated, UH Press’ Beaches of O‘ahu by
John R. K. Clark offers 60 new color photos of the island’s spectacular
beaches and coastline by photographer Mike Waggoner, a water safety section and
22 newly drawn maps locating more than 130 beaches and shoreline parks. The beach
descriptions and maps include many of the island’s popular surfing sites.
All beaches, known and relatively unknown, are listed with their physical characteristics,
recreational uses, historic and cultural significance and any dangers that beach-goers
may encounter. Each beach is identified by its official and unofficial, or popular,
name (if any) used by residents. When available, Clark has added brief histories
of beaches as handed down through the Native Hawaiian oral tradition and related
Hawaiian chants and verses.
Clark is deputy fire chief for the City and County of Honolulu. He is the author
of The Beaches of Maui County, Beaches of the Big Island, Beaches
of Kaua`i and Ni`ihau, Hawai‘i's Best Beaches and Hawai`i
Place Names: Shores, Beaches, and Surf Sites, which are all available from
UH Press.
Beaches of O‘ahu is available from the UH
Press website.
