Facility Overview
Situated in the master-planned neighborhood of Ocean Pointe in Ewa Beach, the public parking area at 91-995 Kaimele Place offers convenient and accessible vehicle accommodation for local residents, park visitors, and travelers exploring the Leeward side of Oahu. Configured as an open-air surface parking facility, the lot features clearly marked individual stalls designed for seamless pull-in and pull-out maneuvers. Because the facility is completely open to the sky, there are no vertical clearance restrictions or low overhead barriers, making it an excellent choice for full-sized pickup trucks, lifted 4x4 vehicles, passenger vans, and surf-rack equipped SUVs that may not fit inside standard covered garages.
