About this site
Ka'ena Point sits at the northwesternmost tip of Oahu, where the Waianae and Waialua coasts meet, facing open ocean toward the channel between Oahu and Kauai. The area is a state natural area reserve on land, known for its exposed, undeveloped coastline and strong ocean swells. Access to dive sites here is limited by weather and sea conditions given the point's exposure to open Pacific swell. Diving here is rated beginner when conditions allow it.
