Great chance to swim and see fish close to Honolulu.

The beach might not be very big but fortunately the Ocean has plenty of space. This is an awesome snorkeling spot. You can see tons of fish. The electric company right across the street has a large pipe that runs into the ocean and releases a heavy amount of hot water. This causes many fish to come to the area. The released water is also fun to play in (swim in front of it and it will push you about 20 feet away in no time).

Please be respectful of all the wildlife. Take pictures, but please don't touch!

Thought it was named because of jelly fish but it's just the power plant. Fun snorkel spot although the beach is tiny.

Electric beach is a really fun spot to snorkel on the west side of Oahu. It gets its name from the power plant in the area.

Tracks Beach

Coming from Honolulu you'll take the H1 West to the 93 West and just stay on that the whole way until you see the turnoff on your left. From the North Shore, it's a little more complicated, but take the 83 West to the 99 South, jump on the H2 South, then the H1 West to the 93 West (clicking on the directions from the map on here is probably your best best). Once you get here there isn't much, ...

Makua Beach

Hike to Waimano Falls

This is a fun hike in central Oahu that leads to multiple water falls! Bring some shoes that you don't care about because the trail is muddy and you will definitely get dirty. There is also a cliff diving spot at one of the falls. This hike is just one trail located in the Ewa Forest Preserve. There are many more to check out!

Yokohama (Keawaula Beach)

Getting There: Traveling from Honolulu, follow signs toward Waianae: the H1 turns into Farrington highway (93) as you reach the west side of the island. Continue on Farrington highway until you reach the yellow gate marking the end of the road and Yokohama will greet you. As you drive through the yellow gate you will likely see cars parked on both sides of the road and in the parking lot on t...

Peacock Flats and Three Corners

Parking is pretty straightforward once you are on Farington Highway coming out of Haleiwa. There's a small dirt lot on the east side of the gate and grass parking to the west. Once you go through the first gate and see the Mokuleia Forest Reserve Access Road sign on your right, you'll know you're there and see a long straightaway in front of you. The paved street to the top is lined with flora ...

Hike to Ka'ena Point

The Ke'ana Point Trail winds along the shore of O'ahu from Waianae on the West to Mokuleia on the North. You'll have the chance to see monk seals and multiple species of protected birds.To access this hike from Honolulu drive West on the H1 towards Waianae. Eventually the H1 will become Farrington Highway and you'll eventually reach Yokohama Beach where the road will end. There is a parking lot...
