A week ago on April 30th, a group of gal pals gave me insane pleasure by accompanying me on greeting the sun at the Makapu’u Point Lighthouse. On the east side of O’ahu, this hike juts out into the Pacific Ocean and gives an incredible panoramic view of the sunrise.
The “hike” itself is actually a paved, albeit steep, trail that zig zags up the ridge and peaks at a fenced-off ledge near the lighthouse. Actually accessing the lighthouse isn’t possible. Not only is the walk deceptively steep, but there’s no shelter or shade for most of the path. Carly and I made the mistake of checking it out at noon one day, and we just fried. So not only does early early morning offer a spectacle of seeing the sun come up over the waves, it’s more comfy too. During whale season, the Makapu’u Point trail is known for whale watching, so rad!
