  OVERVIEW  
     
  Rugged, dangerous, exciting - pictures cannot depict the utter beauty of the landscape and awesome power of the ocean seen along the East Coast of O'ahu. The soft volcanic ash that fell millions of years ago when Diamond Head and Koko exploded is like modeling clay for the waves that crash against this coast creating an eerie, stair-step sculpture. There are several lookouts and hikes along the coastal mountains that afford a dramatic view of the entire East Coast. Due to offshore reefs and volcanic tubes, the waves crash against the shoreline ferociously all year long.

This is a popular area for whale watching from December through April as the humpback whales travel the channel. Body surfers enjoy "catching a wave" and can be spotted on their boards any hour of the day.
 
     
  DIRECTIONS  
     
  Take H1 east bound. H1 will turn into Kalanianaole Highway. Continue straight onto Kalanianaole and the cliffs begin after Hanauma Bay.
