Always a pleasers visiting this place! Been coming here to relax since 1995! Friendly staff. And the beach is second to none!

Awesome beach on the windward side. There's a military checkpoint at the entrance, so it's only accessible if you have military ID. Because of this, it won't get too crowded and not so much riff-raff.Secure area with a large, shaded pavilion and lots of tables. Full bathrooms (not nasty porta potties) and outside showers. Definitely family friendly. Waves on this side of the island are pretty mild to moderate later in the year. Soft sand, warm, blue water, and the occasional jellyfish. Watch out. So darn good, though. Top 3 beach on this island for me.

Top three favorite beaches in Oahu. You will need to have military access to get to bellows beach but before the military gate, there's parking and the beach stretched out to there so you can still enjoy the beautiful blue waters if you don't have military access. It's on the windward side, so very windy! The water and sand are perfect though.

Fun and clean. Not as busy and so beautiful. One of our favorites. Big pavilion for gathering and good shade as well

It’s an older recreation facility so don’t expect it to compare with more expensive commercial hotels. The beach and other areas are limited to is card holders and their families so you don’t deal with big crowds. Shopette and gas pumps are there along with restrooms and an equipment rental (body boards, goggles, kayaks, etc) that’s far cheaper than off base. The cabins are old but the ac works great and the beds are comfortable. For half the price of downtown, it’s a serious bargain. We were so thankful to find it! And the staff is awesome! Be sure to bring wide brimmed hats to keep the sun off your head.

First time coming! Our kids had a camp program to attend and we were left with nothing to do. We drove around and found this beautiful beach! It's on the air force base so you will need access to get on base. It was stunning, as we waked along the beach it was very relaxing. Life guards were posted and had signs posted about high tide and jellyfish. Very clean! The bathrooms were better than expected! They also had showers, changing rooms and wash of stations. On our walk we saw cabins that can be rented out and camping sites! We will be coming back again with our kids

Nice beach but dangerous man o war all over that can be very painful. Can't see them in the water. Be careful

Open to the public Fri at noon until dark Sunday. Also on the weekends there is an epic farmer's market at the entrance. The beach itself was clean and beautiful with excellent waves for family friendly outings.

Fantastic beach for mil folks. Nice little stretch of dog friendly beach too. Water is always gorgeous bright turquoise here with islands in the background, very idyllic setting. The visitor center has $5 Dole Whips.

My favorite place in the world to visit. In my opinion these cabins sit on the best beaches in the world and are less than 50 feet to the water. They could use a little updating but who goes here to spend the day inside a cabin. The base has so many great amenities available as well.
Great are to camp overnight if you wish to. You do need to get a permit for the specific lot in advance but i Think it is worth it. The beach is right across from the camping site (1-2 minute walk). The showers have warm water, that is always a plus for must people. ONLY military member and their groups. The gate does check military ID and for those that are not military, they will need to show their state license/ID

We had a great time on the beach? The bath house was as clean as bath house gets. The beach, around the pavilion and bath house we're so clean and free of litter. And the ladies in the gift shop or so lovely to our children. We were so impressed with them and their pineapple soft serve!

Cabins have seen some use and show some wear. Could stand to use a little updating. A/C isn't necessary, but there are a few hot times of the day and year where it would be nice. But can't beat the \\\"right on the beach\\\" locations. Our first visit to MWR and the Souvenir Shop wasn't too impressive. The staff didn't seem very interested in taking care of us or answering our questions. The second visit was better as Tiffany was especially helpful and informative. Looking forward to our stay in January of '24.

$127 a night for a 2 bedroom cottage on the beach. 1 minute walk to the water. Spectacular views from patio. Rooms are furnished with a full kitchen and bbq grill. Secluded and private with excellent views. No AC but didn't need it. Ocean breezes blow through the windows all day and night.

Beautiful, quiet beach to go to. The sand is nice and soft. Quite a bit of parking. You will need a DOD ID in order to get access to this side. There are also cabins and campsites to rent if you enjoy camping. There is a lifeguard on duty until 5pm. Watch out for the Man of War jellyfish, they look like small, blue bubbles. This is my favorite beach on island so far!
