Access reference, not a guaranteed fishing position

Historical public shore-access inventory, 2008. Fish catches, underwater features and a usable fishing stance have not been verified at this coordinate.

ORIENTATION

What this reference can tell you

Use this entry to inspect the sandy shoreline for visible feeding activity and a clear casting lane. Pāpio and ʻōʻio are potential habitat targets only; fish presence and underwater features have not been verified here.

From the public entry, choose an uncrowded shore position and observe the water before casting. Select tackle for an identified target and keep the casting lane clear. The coordinate is an access reference, not a measured fishing stance.

ACCESS CHECK

Before choosing a place to cast

  • Public coastal entry at the Makapuʻu beach park.
  • This reference covers the beach-park shore. It does not provide access to the lighthouse cliffs or tide-pool cliffs.
  • Historical public shore-entry coordinate in WGS84, from the 2008 inventory. Current access and the actual shore position require checking.

RULES

Check the exact water

  • No location-specific rule summary is attached to this reference. Confirm statewide rules, posted signs, closures and the rules for the exact water you choose.

Location markers are not permission to fish. Regulations, park hours, emergency closures and signs can change after this page was reviewed.

OCEAN SAFETY

Conditions can change the plan

  • Inspect current shoreline conditions and keep a clear casting lane and return path.
  • Check the current surf forecast and breaking waves at the shoreline; an access listing does not establish suitable conditions.

A favorable forecast is not a safety clearance. Observe the shore from a dry, stable position and leave when conditions exceed your ability.
