Ala Moana Park

On the "other" side of Ala Wai Boat Harbor, on the Honolulu Harbor side rather than the Waikiki side, is Ala Moana Beach Park, 76 acres of public space with lots of grass, trees, public amenities, and several beaches.


We took the opportunity to take the photos at the right of Ala Wai Boat Harbor from a different perspective. The top photo shows "The Fuel Dock" jetty. If you enlarge the photo (left click on mouse) you will get clearer views of John's blue-hull Olympic 43 with her stern just in front of the white building on the near corner of the jetty. The next boat to the right is Pachuca, nose-in. To the left at the far corner of the jetty is the red stern of the Chinese junk Princess TaiPing.

The low white building is for storage. The main building of The Fuel Dock is the brown one just behind it.

In the background is Honolulu, with Waikiki at the far right.

The third photo is a pan to the right showing Diamond Head. The large building on the right with the rainbow pattern at the end is the Hilton, on Waikiki Beach.

The bottom photo shows one of the beaches at Ala Moana Park. It is man-made, with gaps in the breakwater at the right to allow circulation of sea water. Very clever. Very safe.
