Our exploration of the Leeward Shore took us past the beautiful Makaha Beach Park, a narrow 21-acre park, which features an exceptionally long and wide beach. The park and its sand beach are bordered on the west by Kepuhi Point.
Like most Leeward Shore beaches, this beach often sees high waves in the winter - up to 25 feet high break off Makaha Point, providing some of the most challenging big waves on Oahu.
While the waves of spring and summer are considerably smaller in height, in winter Makaha sees severe backwashes and rip currents.
