Queen's Beach
Located in Kapiolani Park at the end of Waikiki, towards Diamond Head, this stunning tropical escape is an ideal spot to sunbathe and relax. It's easy to find - just enter the park from Waikiki and walk along the beach. The Beach House Snack Bar is a good landmark to look for and offers a laid-back place to grab a bite. No nudity here unfortunately, but the warm waters and soft sands make up for that.

Not like years past.
I first knew of this place when I moved to Hawaii in the mid 70's. It was at that time filled with gay men and friends of gays. Today it is almost too hard to tell. Back then it was an everyday event to sun, hit a bar on Kapahulu called the Blow Hole. For me Honolulu was more exciting for gays in the 70's & Early 80's . The whole scene was more lively, now everything like Queens surf has seemed to assimilated which may not be a bad thing but just seems washed out.
Was a nice beach/park
The grass area behind the beach is fill with homeless tents. Very sad situation that the city cannot seem to control.
Just another beach
OK, it's great to be in Waikiki, so you gotta love it just for that. But I didn't really notice that this is a gay beach. I wonder where the boys go now?
Not Very Gay Anymore
This is an OK beach if you are staying in Waikiki, but the gay scene is not very hot here anymore. Lots of families have discovered the beach and Kapiolani park behind it. I noticed a few gay men here the last few times I visited, but not enough to maintain its old reputation. Too bad.

Boys can be girls
Great beach for gay or straight guys to wear thongs and g-strings. I have seen guys wear g-strings and cammy tops. Not a great beach to make out if same sex because it is also a family beach. If you are a straight guy you could find lots of girls in thongs.
