Beach overall scores
MÄkua Beach (Hawaii) is located outside the Makaha Valley settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the coast of the O'ahu island and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the MÄkua Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.
User reviews
"This beach is an ideal spot to relax and let go of all your worries. It's an extremely secure place for children to swim, as there are hardly any massive waves. The tidepools are also a fantastic and secure location for children to engage in recreational activities. You can observe a plethora of fish and dolphins in the water. I strongly advise visiting this beach!"
Avery Jenson.
"The beach was pleasantly uncrowded with waves that were not overpowering. While snorkeling, I did not encounter much marine life, but it is possible that I was in the wrong area of the beach. Parking was not too difficult to locate, but it was situated off the side of the road rather than in a designated lot."
