Keawaʻula Beach, also known as Yokohama Bay, is one of Oʻahu’s most pristine and secluded beaches, located at the westernmost tip of the island. This hidden treasure offers a serene escape for those seeking natural beauty and tranquility away from the crowds.

Key Features

• Seclusion: As one of the most remote beaches on Oʻahu, Keawaʻula Beach is often quiet and uncrowded, making it a favorite for locals and adventurous visitors.
• Natural Beauty: The beach boasts stunning white sands, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking views of the Waianae Mountain Range. The sunsets here are particularly spectacular.
• Activities: Ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing during the summer when waters are calm. However, in the winter, powerful waves attract experienced surfers but make swimming unsafe.
• Wildlife: You might spot dolphins and humpback whales (seasonally) offshore, as well as native birds like albatrosses near the Kaʻena Point Trail, which starts at the beach.

Accessibility

• Keawaʻula Beach is located at the end of Farrington Highway, past Makaha. The road dead-ends at the beach, providing a sense of isolation.
• Facilities are minimal, with restrooms and parking available, but no lifeguards, so caution is essential.
