Magic Island is a small peninsula in Honolulu, Hawaii, adjacent to Ala Moana Beach Park and the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor. The park on Magic Island is a popular local hangout where families gather for frisbee, luaus, and the occasional festival or drama performance. Because it was a preferred location among homeless squatters, overnight camping was recently banned in the park.

Each year the Ala Moana Center puts on a spectacular fireworks show over Magic Island for the Fourth of July that draws thousands of spectators to the surrounding parks. In conjunction with the show, the Ala Moana Center also ropes off a portion of its parking lot for a Fourth of July concert featuring many local bands.

The park's hours are from sunrise to sunset daily.
