The 2.5 mile loop throughout Ala Moana Beach Park and Magic Island will give you some of the best sights in urban Honolulu. Ala Moana Beach Park is part of a network of trails known as the Lei of the Parks Shared-Use Bike Paths, allowing you to enjoy Kakaako Waterfront Park, Ala Moana Beach Park, Ala Wai Promenade, Kapiolani Park, and Diamond Head on mostly off-road paths. Shared-use Paths are a great way to get comfortable on a bike and allow you to enjoy the ride with separation from vehicle traffic.
Ala Moana Beach Park consists of flat terrain, making it accessible for all levels of riders to enjoy. An uninterrupted ride around the park should take you less than 25 minutes. We encourage you to take many stops, snap some pictures, utilize the 4 Biki stops to dock your bike, and explore the park features. There are many trees and public water fountains to relax under while get out of the sun throughout your ride. Today, Ala Moana Beach Park hosts more than 4 million visitors a year. Ala Moana translates to “path [to the] sea,” making it the most appropriate bike route to enjoy before a picnic or day at the beach.
To get started, sign up for a Biki Membership on GoBiki.org or the Biki Mobile App, or purchase a single ride from a kiosk.
In 1934, Ala Moana Beach Park opened and was dedicated by then-President Franklin D. Roosevelt on his first trip to Oahu. Many of the original amenities can still be found and enjoyed today. We suggest you start your Biki ride at the entrance of Ala Moana Park at the corner of Atkinson Street. Our Biki stops are located outside the Roosevelt entry Portals, a name given to the entrance since the parks' opening. This is one of our most used Biki stops to date. Ala Moana Beach Park has 4 Biki stop within the park, making it convenient to leisurely dock your park throughout the park and hop back on when you are ready.
As you bike along the shared-use path you will cross a Bridle Path Bridge above the pond, Lawn Bowling Green, and Banyan court. The McCoy Pavilion and Tennis Courts were later built surrounding the Banyan Court. There are many quiet areas within the park to enjoy with your family and friends. As you ride along the promenade and enjoy the ocean views, make sure to look out for Diamond Head in the distance. Magic Island was added onto the park in 1964 to include picnic tables and a swimming lagoon for all ages to enjoy. Magic Island is one of our favorite places to watch the sunset.
Historic Hawaii Foundation prepared a slideshow of the creation of Ala Moana Beach Park for our Lei of the Parks Family Day, last year.
