Makapuʻu Point Lighthouse Trail
Makapuʻu Point is the southeasternmost tip of Oʻahu, Hawaii, famous for its scenic lighthouse and the popular, paved Makapuʻu Point Lighthouse Trail, a 2.5-mile roundtrip hike offering stunning ocean views, whale watching (winter), and glimpses of nearby islands, though the trail is exposed, steep, and hot, requiring water and sun protection. Visitors can also enjoy views from a roadside lookout and spot the historic Makapuʻu Lighthouse, built in 1909, which guides ships through the dangerous waters.
