We parked it on the beach and watched the youth surfing competition. It was a fabulous beach with local food vendors on site! More

Happened to find this beautiful, peaceful beach while driving around the island. What a find!!!!!! It was uncrowded but most of all it was absolutely gorgeous.

Compared to one of the Waikiki beaches, Makaha is secluded! While on Oahu, I had the pleasure of jogging to this beach daily and it absolutely looks like a piece of paradise!
