20 Hawaii beaches with toilets and parking both within 250m of the sand, ranked by what else is there for a day with children.
69 of the 180 Hawaii beaches here clear both bars — toilets and parking each within 250m — and the top 20 are ranked below. 12 of the qualifying beaches also have a playground mapped nearby, and 13 have a lifeguard station on the map. Nothing here should be read as a beach being safe or supervised; check conditions on arrival.
To appear at all, a beach needs mapped toilets within 250m and mapped parking within 250m — the two things that decide whether a day out with small children works. Beyond that, playgrounds, picnic tables, showers, drinking water, a park behind the beach and a mapped lifeguard station move a beach up. We never state that a beach has NO lifeguard: only 6% of Hawaii's beaches carry the tag either way, so silence means unknown, not unpatrolled. Never assume a beach is patrolled.

Facilities, parking and shoreline data come from OpenStreetMap, and a beach can only be ranked on what somebody has mapped — "not mapped" is not the same as "not there". Distances are measured to the nearest point of the beach itself.
