Makalei Beach Park
Makalei Beach Park is located on the southeast shore of Oahu,
east of Waikiki Beach, between Kaluahole Beach and Leahi Park.
Makalei Beach Park is a small park - less then one
acre in size - located at the base of Diamond Head
at the intersection of Diamond Head Road and Makalei Place.
The park's shoreline is a seawall but there
is a small sandy area on the west end. Facilities
include picnic tables and showers.
The park is a popular spot for picnics and
weddings, and it is also an access point for several
surfing spots, including Ricebowls, Tongg's, The Winch,
Radicals, Graveyards, Suicides, and Sleepy Hollows.
Other activities at the park include fishing, snorkeling,
and swimming.
Makalei Beach Park was formerly the site
of a private beachfront home. The land was purchased
by the City and County of Honolulu in 1972. It was
named after a legendary tree that was suppose to have
attracted fish.
