This beach is a unique beach because if you notice the mountains on the top its said to be shaped like a lizard and that's the legend that is said about the mountains above the Hanauma Bay. This beach is a good beach to go sight seeing because of the beautiful aquatic life under the sea. This is a beach to go diving.

Makua Beach


Makua Beach
(Pray for Sex)

 This beach is called Makua Beach but everyone knows it as pray for sex. Its located in Wainae pass Makaha. The waves can get pretty big the current is really strong so you have to be safe. There's a little bit coral  by the shore of the beach so you have to be careful for the reef when your surfing. It's not really a inhabited beach because not that many people go there because it's so far. The “Pray for Sex” rock (out of sight and just to the left of the wave) got its name from a colony of Hippies who lived here during the late 60s and early 70s. The words “Pray for Sex”.

You can find this beach by taking a drive down to the west side. This beach is way past Wainae and Makaha you keep driving until your almost to the end of the west side. Then when your almost by Yolks your going to see a big rock that says's Pray For Sex.

 Large winter swells breaking on this sandbar have produced some of the biggest and best body surfing barrels I have ever seen. During winter season like now the waves are really huge. The waves can reach up to 20ft and the current can get pretty strong.

Sandys beach

Sandy's Beach



 
This beach is called Sandy's and its on the south side of the island. It's a very rowdy beach only big surfer people should surf there when the tide is high and the currents are strong. The currents can come pretty strong but if your a strong swimmer it should be easy to handle. This beach is beautiful tho don't get me wrong.


You can get to this beach by taking a drive down to the south side. You drive like your going to town side but don't take the Kalihi cut off just keep driving. Then your going to come up to another cut off take that cut off and keep driving and you should see a beach with a lot of rock's by the shore that's Sandy's Beach.

The waves get pretty major it can reach up to 20ft when the surf is really good. Also that the current can get pretty strong to the point where you can get sucked out to sea. Other then that it's a good beach i just advise you to be careful.

Nanakuli Beach Park



Nanakuli Beach Park

 
Nanakuli beach park is a good beach to go and chill with your family. Also its a good beach to go paddling at there are canoe paddling competitions that are held at this beach. It's a good beach to me personally because it's comforting and fun to go to. Also I Little bit down the beach there's a rock wall that you can jump off and make huge bombs. If you are on the west side you should come down and kick it with the family.
