The Beach at Pele's Chair

Oahu Hiking - Hike & Swim at Pele's Chair

Small beach by Pele's Chair near Makapuu, island of Oahu

Although the beach nearby isn’t the greatest, it’s still a fun place to hang out. The water is knee deep which lets you lay on your back and relax. The shallowness and dark colored bottom gives you a bathwater-warm temperature and some tide pools on the side are wonderful for children to explore and play in.

Hiking Gear Guide

Experienced hikers know what to bring, and here’s a guide for the rest of us:

• Water (lots!)

• Hat, large enough to give you plenty of shade. Personally I like the large “Chinese” hats.

• Good hiking shoes. Either that or go barefoot, like I do!

• Light lunch for your reward at the end of the trail.

• Nuts and energy snacks for along the way of particularly long hikes.

• Camera

• Sunscreen

• Binoculars

• Depending on conditions, leave a change of shoes and clothes in the car.

• GPS unit.

• Walkie-talkies for the group.

• Wireless phone
