Yokohama Bay (Keawaula Beach)
Farrington Hwy (end), Waianae, HI 96792
The last beach at the literal end of Farrington Highway on Oahu's far west coast, where the pavement runs out at Kaena Point State Park. Wide, undeveloped white sand backed by sea cliffs; powerful winter surf and year-round currents make it a sightseeing beach more than a swim beach.
