Makaha is home to legendary Makaha Beach known for its amazing surf. Other popular beach spots such at Yokohama and Pokai Bay are just a few minutes down the road. Well-known hiking trails such as the Wai’anae Pink Pillbox and Ka’ena Point are also just a few minutes away. Enjoy a round of golf right next door at Makaha Valley Country Club. The Leeward Coast is equipped with casual eateries and small-town grocery stores.
