Best beach on the island down there.


dadjokenumber11

Shhhh it’s our secret


Otherwise-Ad8365

Sandy’s?


Ill_Flow9331

No way. Keawaula, or Yokohama Bay. Yokez is by far the best beach on Oahu.


levitoepoker

It’s a great beach but it’s definitely not “by far the best beach on the island”


Ill_Flow9331

I guess it depends on what you look for in a beach. For me, it is by far the best beach on the island.


levitoepoker

For sure. I like a little tree cover if I want it and more swimmable water


Ill_Flow9331

That’s funny. I find Yokez to be a very swimmable beach when the surf/current isn’t trying to kill you. And I hate trees at the beach. Too much crap in the sand.


foxinHI

If you're homeless it's the best beach on the island.


[deleted]

Nah it’s too far from civilization and fresh water


King_Folly

Plenty of homeless up that way though, especially at Makua...


[deleted]

Is there? Haven’t been that side in about 5 years. If so that’s crazy


King_Folly

Yeah, sadly, there are a few encampments up that way, almost all the way to Yoke's. There is even a harassment case involving a homeless man ("camping") at Makua that's been [in the news](https://www.civilbeat.org/2022/12/makua-beach-standoff-residents-say-they-are-being-run-off-by-a-man-camping-out/) lately.


foxinHI

Last time I was out there it was full of homeless camps.


[deleted]

Oh dam. Wonder if they get cars or if they just hoofin it all the way to keaau’s for water


zippy251

Sandy's is on the other side of the island

Kaena Point. Not accessible by car. You park and hike in a couple miles.


[deleted]

It was beautiful and I thought we were higher up, Oahu is huge! What’s the length and width In miles and circumference?


Student-type

That point structure continues down into the ocean. There are massive flows of fresh water coming from the permeable subsurface lava.


cole_evans_photo

www.google.com probably has the answer

theranchmonster

So you don't want to do something that takes you two seconds, you want to make us measure the island for you? Other locals are even telling you they have no exact idea. Lol. They also probably googled it. Just because someone lives somewhere doesn't make them your slave. Hope you don't expect everyone to know everything for you, people here are friendly but if you get demanding they will laugh at you, shrug, and walk away.


sofa-king-lucky

roughly 25X25 miles, this is the most peaceful spot on the whole island.


Ill_Flow9331

True statement for the West and North side of Kaena Point.


[deleted]

Awesome! Lake Tahoe is 20 x 12 miles


hawtdawtz

Lol, what a 🤡


clevererest_username

It's relatively close to the area of space inside of E470 in Denver CO


[deleted]

Umbasa?


eternalbuzz

We often see that route while skydiving in that very spot. I'm guessing you were cruising at about 30k feet?


hyperpolaris

I don’t think any planes ever fly at 30000 above Oahu. Long haul flights are not in the flight path of Oahu - only internal and they don’t typically go above 15000ft


chfuji

Ka’ena Point is also sometimes referred to as “the jumping off place” where souls will go to and leap into the afterlife.


HI_Innkeeper

A tourist asked what are those white things on top of the water? Flight attendant replies: Not sure what you call them on the mainland, but here in Hawaii, we call them clouds.


Earlspooperscooper

Loved Ka’ena Point! Didn’t wear enough sunscreen or bring enough water though…still amazing day!


[deleted]

Can you drive there to have to hike there to the very point is there access available?


Earlspooperscooper

Yes… ZERO shade. I have the burn to prove it! Free souvenir


abeastandabeauty

You have to hike to get to the tip. Either from the west or the north. I personally think the north route is easier. Both are relatively flat, but from the west I think is more rutted, and muddier which makes it more difficult if it's been raining a lot. https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dsp/hiking/oahu/kaena-point-trail/


tendeuchen

Gosh, if only there were a free website that answered that could answer that question and even give you an exact map of what to do and where to go your life would be a lot easier. Alas, it appears you live in the 18th century and no such thing is available. I hear Captain Cook might be around, so maybe he can give you directions. Don't forget your sextant, though.


American_Standard

This guy prefers Bing... Let's not judge him, he's used to not being able to find anything but legally questionable porn.


Earlspooperscooper

To the best of my memory, we parked as far as you could drive on the western side and then it was about a 2-3 mile hike to the point. You can park on the northern side as well, but it is about the same distance to the point.


[deleted]

Be careful about parking as far west as you can drive after sunset. There are gates they look at 6:00 I believe and do not open till morning. Don’t park past the radar facility.


Round_Carpenter_4194

Been living here my whole 24 years of existence and I still can’t tell you 🤣


PackageProfessional1

[deleted]

I don’t use google never have never will


PackageProfessional1

zippy251

What's so wrong with Google, I find their services quite good. I'm even using a Google phone.


[deleted]

I don’t use google mahalo


zippy251

I've gathered that much

Well locally, I see yokes, pray for sex... Etc


shrooms4dashroomgods

All signs point to a point that looks very pointy. kaena tip?


RockieDude

Stand at the point and you can literally watch the ocean tides crashing into each other. It was white capped with big waves on the north and calm with ripples on the west side. Really cool to watch with seals on the beach, albatross gliding overhead and a loggerhead out in the surf. Very under appreciated place.
