Kaena Point is a 59 acre nature preserve on the far western tip of Oahu that harbors some of the last vestiges of coastal sand dune habitat on the island and is home to protected nesting seabirds, such as the Laysan Albatross, Wedge-tailed Shearwater, and the White-tailed Tropicbird. It is also frequented by the Hawaiian Monk Seal.

The point can only be reached on foot from both the West and North via a 3 mile walk. We will walk there from the WEST side (end of Farrington highway north of Wainae near Keawaula Beach). It's probably best if we arrange carpooling. Use comments.

If you plan on taking pictures of the seals and birds, please keep a distance as required by law. Swimming or venturing into the water is not recommended due to dangerous rip currents, crashing waves, and sharp lava rock.
