Kaena Point — north access - Waialua Hawaii Hikes

Kaena Point is located at the arid west end of Oahu. The Waianae Range tapers to a point where the north and south shores merge, forming the remote peninsula. At the point, the twelve-acre Kaena Point Natural Area Reserve protrudes across the windswept dunes past a beacon. Huge waves from both shores crash against the lava rocks that band the point. Kaena Point can be approached from either the north or south shore. The two paths merge at the isolated point. This hike begins on the north shore.
