About Kanaha Beach Park

Family amenities

Kanaha Beach Park is ideal for the whole family. This 88-acre park has showers, bathrooms, and plenty of parking. With over a mile of shoreline, and 8 different park entrances, there’s room for wingfoiling, windsurfing, kitesurfing, swimming, sunbathing and more. When you’re ready for a break, rinse off in a fresh water shower and picnic in the shade. Kanaha has two lifeguard towers and a protected swim zone near the middle of the park.

If you were going to design the perfect park for wind and water sports, you’d probably design it a lot like Kanaha Beach Park! With warm water, a protective reef about 200 to 300 yards offshore, and our typical side-onshore Tradewinds, Kanaha is great for all skill levels. Inside the reef, conditions are generally more protected, creating an ideal learning area for beginners and intermediates. Farther out, the reef and open ocean offer more challenging conditions for advanced riders.
