Makapuu Beach Park

If you're in search of a secluded paradise on the east coast of Honolulu, look no further than Makapuu Beach Park! This stunning beach maintains an idyllic, untouched vibe, making it an ideal spot for those wanting a tranquil escape.The water is crystal clear, perfect for snorkeling enthusiasts. I had the pleasure of encountering a variety of vibrant marine life just a short swim from the shore. What truly sets this beach apart is the minimal crowd size, allowing for a peaceful day under the sun.Whether you prefer exploring the underwater world or simply lounging on the sand, Makapuu Beach Park is an excellent destination. I wholeheartedly recommend making a trip to this breathtaking beach!

Passed by this beach while on tour!It was the location of Adam Sandler's character work place in the movie 50 FIRST DATES!

Makapu'u is one of my favorite beaches on this island. I always come here when I visit Oahu. It's just so beautiful. They have restrooms and showers as well. The beach is amazing but I usually hang around the other side where the rocks are. It's such a cool place just to chill and "get lost". The parking lot is pretty tiny though so you gotta get here early. I believe there is another parking lot further down. Can't wait to be back..........

This place is for sure the spot to go if you don't want to deal with all the overcrowded beaches. This is more of a locals spot which is exactly what we wanted. It's so beautiful and peaceful and the water is stunningly blue! If you're in Waikiki and need to get away from all the tourists this is the spot. I wish I was staying longer because I'd for sure come here again!!

So we've been looking down at this beach for years now from the Lighthouse Trail and finally went today. Wow the water is beautiful!!! The waves were a bit rough today but their was an area where there was a small tide pool that allowed kids the safety to just splash and have a good time. Plenty of sun to tan or some shade in the afternoon by the tree-line for those not looking to burn. Parking is limited in the parking lot so some park along the road and hike down. There is a lifeguard that is on duty and will post signage. Just keep an eye out for when they leave so you know that you are swimming at your own risk.

Located off Kalanianaole Hwy, Waimanalo. This is the spot where most people stop for a pic of Rabbit Island. Overall a great place and spot to get pictures of Rabbit Island.

This is one of my happy places. I used to come here when I was younger to ride waves and I still do to this day. It is a nice little beach with waves close to the shore, and it has a nice sandy bottom.There are lifeguards, a small parking lot, outdoor showers to rinse the sand off and bathrooms.There usually seems to be a cool good natured crowd every time I come.5 stars.

Beautiful view and a secluded beach! Unfortunately we chose a chilly, rainy day to drive around Oahu. By the time we reached Makapu'u beach, we were not up for swimming. The beach is easy to access and parking is available. We would have stayed longer if it was a nicer day. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our short stop and loved the views!

Best kept secret on the east side of Oahu. No one here except people who kind of lost and stumbled here by accident

The view is absolutely beautiful!!! One can climb the trail, go to the beach, or enjoy the view from the scenic lookout point above the beach.
