Sightseeing
The Ma’ili Pillbox is a popular hiking spot in Hawaii that features three World War II-era military observation stations, or “pillboxes”, located on a ridgetop. The pillboxes were built to defend the Hawaiian Islands during the war, when the threat of a marine invasion loomed large.
Today, the pillboxes are decorated with art by local artists and graffiti, and some have been painted pink for breast cancer awareness. Hikers can climb inside or on top of the pillboxes for unobstructed views of the west coast of Oahu, including Ko Olina resorts to the south and Mākaha Beach Park to the north. Some say the hike is short but steep, and others mention the great sunsets and sunrises.

Hiking along the sea shore for wildlife
Ka’ena Point has historically been used for fishing, opihi picking, and recreation. Designated a Natural Area Reserve in 1983, it is a seasonal nesting area for Laysan Albatross, a resting area for Hawaiian Monk Seals, and home to many rare native plants. A journey to the land time forgot, it is also a significant area to Hawaiian culture, home to many legends and the “jumping off place” (pictured) to Po, the eternal resting spot of the gods, where land, sea and time are woven into one fabric of space and time.
Hiking to Ka’ena Point
After swimming at Yokohama for a couple hours during the hottest part of the day, we dried off, changed into hiking shoes, and drove about half a mile to the actual end of the road and the trailhead parking lot.
Trail Specifics
Trailhead:
Drive to the end of Farrington Highway (hwy 93), park in the gravel parking lot at the end of the beach, and proceed onto the rutted out dirt road
Distance:
4.8 miles out and back
Difficulty:
Easy. Most of the trail is an old railroad and there is no real elevation change.

Mermaids Cave
Insta photo op :) best at low tide. Located next to Nanakuli beach
Located just south of Mākua Beach about one mile before the end of Farrington Highway. The coast is also known for its ties to the shark god Kamohoalii, who is said to have roamed these waters, guiding and protecting fishermen. The presence of this powerful deity – the king of all sharks – added to the spiritual richness of the area, further embedding the deep respect the native Hawaiians had for the sea. The shark/man deity made his home here in this sea cave which is volcanic and coral in formation.
Mākua Valley contains more than 40 endangered plant and animal species. Abundant archaeological evidence suggests that Mākua Valley had a thriving Hawaiian community during pre-contact days. and is said to be the birthplace of the Hawaiian people
