Makai Research Pier, located off Kalanianaole Hwy in Waimanalo, is a hidden gem known for its stunning views of Rabbit Island and the ocean. This secluded spot is great for photography, making it perfect for family photos or special occasions. Visitors can fish from the sand and may enjoy snorkeling, although the waves can be rough. While it offers beautiful scenery, guests should note that there are no restrooms available, and some trash may be present. The pier is also a filming location for Jurassic World, adding to its charm. Overall, it is a cool place to stop while exploring Oahu.

Great little snorkel spot - quiet and serene. Lots of living coral and fish everywhere. Enter in left of pier from the beach. Plenty under water to see here.

It's an Instagram-worthy spot. There is space to park your car on the side.
