4.7 (1,757)park
4.7 (1,757)Sheer basalt ledges along the Hawaii Kai coast, where heavy ocean swells slam the rock and crowds linger for sunset.
Description
Named for its straight, vertical basalt cliff formations, the coastline drops abruptly into the water with no sandy beaches or safety rails. Powerful swells produce dangerous shorebreak and strong currents right along the rock face. Aside from the surf, the ledges offer a vantage point for spotting marine life, creating an exposed, rugged setting geared toward experienced ocean-goers and sightseers.
