What it's about

The Mermaid Caves are natural limestone caves located along Oahu’s western coastline. These unique sea caves are carved out by centuries of ocean waves, offering a mesmerizing experience for those adventurous enough to explore them. The caves are accessible at low tide when the waters are calm, allowing visitors to safely enter and explore the stunning rock formations and crystal-clear pools.

To get there, head to Kalaniana’ole Beach Park, located on the western side of the island. From the park, walk towards the shoreline, and look for the cave entrance about 300 feet to your left. It’s important to visit during low tide for the safest experience. The terrain is rugged, and accessing the caves requires climbing down about 6 feet, so be sure to wear sturdy footwear and check the ocean conditions beforehand.
