The beach is wonderful and has fun waves with a shorebreak. We hiked to Ka’ena Point and saw seals, dolphins, breaching whales and albatrosses. We also hiked Kuokala Trail and only saw 2 people and it has shade and beautiful views. It’s worth getting the permit to access the satellite tracking station. Not a lot of restaurants but we liked Coquito’s and the Beach House. Warning there are a lot of homeless people camping on the west side beaches on the way to the condo. No problem except it’s very unsightly.
