A beautiful crescent of white sand at Oahu's southeastern tip, framed by the dramatic Makapu'u Point lighthouse and sea cliffs. The powerful shorebreak makes it a favorite for bodyboarders, while calmer days allow swimming. Rabbit Island (Manana) sits just offshore as a dramatic backdrop.
Tip: Bodyboarding is the activity here — bring a bodyboard or rent one from vendors nearby. Calm summer days are good for swimming. The adjacent Makapu'u Lighthouse trail is perfect for the day.
