Kaka'ako Waterfront Park is located along the coastline between Ala Moana Beach/Kewalo Basin and Honolulu Harbor. The view is magnificent, Waikiki and Diamond Head on the left, the ocean in the front and the airport, downtown skyline and entrance to Honolulu Harbor on the right. An ocean breaker and seawall protects the area from the surf. There is no sandy beach, however you can jump into the water from stairs that are designed to make entry into the ocean easy. One great area for a swim is enclosed by rocks and is almost as calm as a swimming pool. There are shady picnic table areas perfect for a barbecue or take out lunch. There's just a lot of activities going on, the helicopters flying, the boats, ships and barges coming in and out of Kewalo Basin and Honolulu Harbor, the fishermen trying to catch their supper, the body surfers at Point Panic, and the surfers catching the waves at Kewalo Basin.
Falls Of Clyde and the Aloha Tower Named after a waterfall up the River Clyde in Scotland, the Falls of Clyde was built in 1878 in Port Glascow, Scotland. Falls of Clyde is the last surviving iron-hulled, four-masted full rigged ship, sail-driven oil tanker. Designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1989. She is presently in storage with the hope to raise enough funds to restore her.
