kitchacaT Posted June 17, 2006 #1 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I am going on the poh on aug 14th and am wondering if umbrellas are allowed and available to rent on beaches on hawaii. I plan to go to some North shore beaches in oahu, then lanikai and waikiki on the south shore. During the cruise I hope to go to Kaanapali in maui, Poipu or Hanalei in Kuaui - If anyone could give input on which is better, and Honaunau bay in Kona. I am willing to bring one and then just junk it if there are no rentals. i just find it very hard to stay in the sun all day. I justneed to know if they are restricted or allowed and available to rent. Thanks alot. Kitchacat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spleen93 Posted June 18, 2006 #2 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Umbrellas are generally permitted. Places to rent might be scarce though - Waikiki would probably have but Lanikai definitely won't have and North Shore will most likely not have as well. Better to buy a cheapy and dump it when you leave. Go to Wal-mart or something when you get here to avoid transporting a beach umbrella on a flight.

Spleen I'll add that the trade winds can be pretty strong, maybe too strong for some umbrellas. Many of the beaches have trees and/or shelters with shade just above the sand area, so you can have some shelter from the sun, but it is still just a short walk into the surf. Hope this helps.

kitchacaT Posted June 19, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Thanks again spleen for the advice. Buy and leave will be the way to go. Bobnsandi-good point about the wind. I did wonder about it because all of the pictures I see of the beaches are never dotted with umbrellas,like our beaches here on Long Island are..so I thought maybe they were restricted or Blown way...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
