This is one of our favorite beaches on Oahu. The waves and currents can be stronger here, so there have been times we haven't gone too far into the water, especially with younger swimmers.

Awesome waves, soft sand, not crazy busy, what more can you ask for? I love that the beach isn't very steep but you still get great waves, that helps me feel safe and still have tons of fun. If you are squeamish about sea grass you might want to go elsewhere, there is a lot in the water here.

Favorite beach I found on this island. Great waves, white sand, free parking, beautiful views, not crowded and short drive from Waikiki. Not the best for small children as waves can be a bit large

I loved this beach. The water was crystal clear and picturesque. The shoreline was rocky and the waves were too rough. Easy parking on the side of the road. Stop by and enjoy a sunrise with your morning coffee. Stunning views.

We came here after we hiked the Makapu’u Lighthouse Trail. Beautiful fine sandy beach! We visited during the winter months so the waves were wild…good for body surfing! Ample parking spots, the grounds were well maintained, clean bathrooms/change rooms and there are also outdoor showers. Bring your supplies as there are no stores, restaurants or food carts here. It’s a beautiful beach to dip your toes in after your hike. Makapu’u Beach Park is divided into two by a rugged stretch of coastline. We went to the one right next to the Makapu’u Lookout. There’s also Sea Life Park across the highway.

I absolutely loved Makapuu Beach Park! The scenery is just breathtaking - crystal clear blue waters, white sand beaches, and stunning views of the surrounding cliffs. But what really sets this beach apart is the big waves! As someone who loves to swim, I had an absolute blast playing in the waves. All in all, this is an incredible beach that I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun and beautiful day out.

One of the best boogie boarding/bodysurfing beaches you can go to on the Hawaiian Islands! Waves are the perfect height, and beach isn’t crowded at all. Very scenic views of the mountains and distant islands.

Great sunrise views, clean and great picture spot for wedding/family groups. The waves are also good for surfing.There is a restroom close to the parking lot which is quite convenient.

Beautiful beach, but pay attention to the warning signs such as Strong Current & No Swimming! The waves here can be brutal and cause accidents which we unfortunately witnessed one today…

Beautiful scenery. Peaceful, and relaxing. 10 minutes walk to the bus station cross highway 72 at Sea Life Park, or parking is alongside the highway right by the beach.

Beautiful view, strong but not scary surf, and quiet on a weekday morning.

I would say this is one of the under rated beaches. Best for surfing and spending time with your company.Currents are better than sandy beach ( they are not as rough as sandy beach). Also, a beautiful view of the sunrise with cool breezes.Do not forget to go to a view spot to get areal view of the beach

The beach has great waves! There is no shade at this beach but it’s worth the trip.
