Body Boarding at Makapuu

Hawaiian for "Bulging Eyes", this beach is located below Makapu'u Point, a projection of land marking Hawaii's easternmost tip. This is a very popular beach for bodysurfing but large waves and riptides can make swimming hazardous. Rabbit Island sits just offshore and makes this beach very picturesque.

Cautions: High surf, fierce shore break, and strong undertoe often occur during the winter months. Check with the lifeguards regarding ocean conditions before entering the water. Obey all postings and warnings.
