Hilton Hawaiian Village has restored the "Duke Paoa Kahanamoku Lagoon", named for Hawaii's legendary surfer. The lagoon dates back to the early fifties, when an ocean-fed lagoon was created and enjoyed by many. Over time, however, the lagoon turned murky. Now it's re-done: 5 acres, with state-of-the-art water circulation, an island with waterfall, native-plant landscaping,and a boardwalk with benches. The lagoon is open to the public, and there's a (free) public parking close by.
