Facilities

Oahu Beaches - Makapuu Beach - Hawaii's Natural Waterpark

Showers, bathrooms, and parking lot

Makapuu has a good set of facilities

Makapuu is blessed with basic facilities we come to expect at beaches:

  • Lifeguards
  • Bathrooms
  • Parking
  • Changing areas
  • Showers
  • Picnic areas

We definitely make use of the showers and changing areas to completely clean up and get into a dry set of clothes. This lets to make the trip back home comfortable and gives you the opportunity to stop a restaurants and shops without having that cold, wet, stuck-with-swimwear feeling.

• Candy bars/nut bars.

• Big hats to shade the sun.
