This offers a paved roadway to a headland where the historic Makapuu Lighthouse can be viewed below. The Makapuu Point Lighthouse Trail is 2 miles round-trip with a 500 foot elevation climb and as it can be rather dry, windy, and hot visitors should also bring drinking water. This is also a favorite lookout for migrating whales, and although the season runs November to May, the best viewing times are January to March. Dogs on no more than a 6 foot leash are allowed on the trail, and they must be cleaned up after promptly.
