Tower Information

Hours of Operation

Honolulu Ocean Safety is the primary responder for emergencies on beaches and in the near shore waters (out to one mile) for the entire shoreline of Oʻahu, all 227 miles of it. Ocean Safety staffs 41 Lifeguard towers and 24 mobile units daily, 365 days a year. Towers are generally open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily, with some exceptions in Waikīkī and Hanauma Bay.

Ocean Safety is part of the city's 911 system, and mobile responders are dispatched to 911 calls for assistance from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Tower Closures

As the City & County continues to grow an extended hours program for coverage, towers are sometimes closed for staffing reasons. Sign up for alerts from the City and County of Honolulu's website, hnl.info, or download the mobile app. Any tower closures will be announced there.
