Makapu'u Point Lighthouse Trail

HikingEasy

About

Paved, family-friendly coastal trail to a historic lighthouse with sweeping views of the Windward Coast, Rabbit Island, and the open Pacific. During winter months, spot humpback whales breaching offshore.

Our Take

The paved coastal trail winds along dramatic sea cliffs to a lighthouse at the southeastern corner of Oahu. The views of the Windward Coast and Rabbit Island are outstanding at any hour, but the winter whale watching is the real draw — humpbacks pass close enough to this headland that binoculars are almost unnecessary.
