Waimānalo, Hawaii

Waimānalo (Hawaiian pronunciation: [vɐjmaːˈnɐlo] ) is a census-designated place (CDP) in the District of Koʻolaupoko, in the City & County of Honolulu, on the island of Oʻahu, Hawaii, United States. This small windward community is near the eastern end of the island. Waimānalo means "potable water"; it is so named for the many brackish ponds in the area that were used for irrigation. As of the 2020 census, the CDP had a population of 6,057. About 1000 meters east of Waimānalo is the neighborhood of Waimānalo Beach. Waimānalo has a small commercial center along Kalanianaʻole Highway, but is separated from the shoreline and Waimānalo Beach (the longest stretch of sandy shoreline on Oʻahu) by Bellows Air Force Station. Waimānalo is noteworthy for its local flavor and large agricultural lots in the valley that extend back towards the Koʻolau from the center of town. Numerous plant nurseries are in this area. There are no hotels in Waimānalo. Waimānalo is the site of Sea Life Park, near Hawaiʻi Kai on Kalanianaole Highway. Its U.S. postal code is 96795.
