Description

A huge arch formation on the west side of Oahu. The Arch is a large, overhung arch-shaped formation that is home to some of the best bouldering on the island. The Arch is only climbable during low tide (Spring through Fall) and when it has not rained on the west side of the island. Do not climb there if it has rained as you may break holds off. The Arch can stay damp for many days as the holds do not receive much exposure from the sun. If you choose to climb there, you must bring multiple pads with a few spotters.

Getting There

On your own, take H1 West (Ewa-bound) and continue driving until the end of the road. Once you arrive in the park at Kaena Point, hike Kaena Point for 20-25 mins. The Arch is located on the coastline, down and to your left.
