1. This is the place for snorkeling and seeing lots of fish and several turtles roaming around, not the other lagoons to the south. 2. It is a quiet and peaceful beach with mostly young families. 3.…Full review by AviatorYW

We came to this beach around 2pm and there were cars waiting for parking spaces to open. Since the parking lot for the beach (not the luau) is so small, you have to come here very early in order to g…Full review by Tofurry

Great spot to snorkels with sea turtles. One of my core memories from childhood and can’t eat to take my kids there too. Such a beautiful spot.Full review by Audrey S

Public parking at Paradise Cove Public Beach itself is very limited, 13 parking spots + 2 ADA spots, if I recall correctly. You pull into the Paradise Cove Luau parking lot, drive past the Luau parking (don't try to park in Luau spots!!!), and it's marked public parking. If locals are stacked up outside the lot waiting patiently, DO NOT try to cut in. The beach is a 100m walk from the lot. There are 4 other Ko Olina Lagoon public lots scattered along the way south to the Marina, all small, 0.5-1.5 mile walks from the beach. All are called out and mapped at the Ko Olina Lagoon website, Google for ko olina public parking You can also park at the Disney Aulani self-park, 0.5 mi walk south from the beach. $37/day. Google for Disney Aulani public parking
How can we get to the Paradise Cove beach without doing the luau? We have only seen luau parking.

There are about 15 spaces at this beach. Go past entrance of Paradise Cove ( EARLY ) and make 1st right hand turn. Go about 100 yards and parking spaces are on your right. I wait for a car to leave sometimes if the spaces are full. Walk towards Paradise Cove and secret walkway is on left, it will take you to paradise in paradise...

Hi Sorry for the delay in answering. The hotel gear most likely is not to be taken off site. We purchased great "first time" snorkelling gear at Costco - YES the Costco in Hawaii was AMAZING for all the beach equipment, inexpensive clothing/souvenirs and discounted attractions. HInt: there is also a women who rents all sorts of equipment at the Market near Magic Sands Beach - which is 40 mins approx from Paradise Cove. This equipment you could keep with you on your whole trip around the island and return when you are finished with it. :) Paddle boards, boogie boards, everything.... Hope this helps, and not too late of a response. Jen
