Pokai Bay on the West Side of Oahu
Located between the small boat harbor in Wai’anae and Kane’ilio Point, Pokai Bay is a popular beach for locals on Oahu’s leeward (west) coast and a good day trip for those staying at Ko’olina and looking for a bit of local flavor. A crescent shaped rock jetty prevents high surf from disrupting the tranquil waters, making this 15-acre beach park an extremely sheltered beach ideal for young swimmers, snorkeling and lap swimming. Additionally, beginning surfers will find the gentle surf off of the wide reef in the center of the bay conducive to learning. Fun Fact: Before being called Pokai Bay, it was called Malaea, which means “calm” or “serene.”
Highlights: A short drive south of the beach can conclude the day with a spiritual visit to the Ancient Hawaiian Temple site (Ku’ilioloa Heiau) which serves as a memorial where the ashes of loved ones have been scattered.
Water Sports: Swimming, snorkeling, fishing and surfing. The long crescent white sand beach is also a popular walking destination. Check out the surf-forecast.com for current conditions. Select Hawaii-Oahu, then Pokai Bay.
Parking: There is a public parking lot, which fills up early on weekends and additional parking can be found on Waianea Valley Road off of the Farrington Highway.
Shade: The 15-acre expanse offers a wonderful grassy area shaded by trees and often used for picnic gatherings.
Restaurant: Poka’i Bay Restaurant offers a variety of items from guava hotcakes to traditional mahi burgers.
Dangers: Despite its tranquility, the ocean is always to be enjoyed with proper safety protocol which is why you will find lifeguards on duty.
What’s in a name:
Poka’i: Poka’i Bay, named for the Hawaiian Chief Poka’i, who is said to have brought the first coconut palm tree to Hawaii.
Malaea which means “calm” or “serene.”
Ku’ilioloa Heiau This heiau: is named after a dog spirit, Ku’ilioloa, which literally means “the long dog Ku” said to have watched over travelers in this area.

MERMAID CAVE AND ZABLAN BEACH - WAIANAE - OAHU - HAWAII
Grotte Mermaid Cave et Plage de Zablan - Waianae - Oahu - Hawaii
Coordonnées GPS: 21°22'30.0N 158°08'25.3W
La superbe plage de Zablan est située sur la côte ouest de l'île d'Oahu, plus précisément à Waianae. Vous aurez un aperçu de cette plage dans cette vidéo.
En ce qui nous concerne, nous sommes plutôt intéressés par la grotte sous-marine (Mermaid Cave) située à gauche de cette plage.
Pour s'y rendre, il suffit de prendre le petit sentier situé près des arbustes qui délimitent le secteur (à proximité des résidences) ou tout simplement déambuler sur les roches volcaniques qui bordent le littoral.
La prudence est de mise car ce secteur a subi de fortes érosions et plusieurs trous se sont formés. Par le fait même, la surface du sol est inégale et possède des pointes acérées à plusieurs endroits.
Plusieurs croix jonchent le sol en souvenir de personnes disparues.
Il suffit de parcourir environ 200 m pour atteindre l'entrée de cette grotte. Vous y verrez certainement des personnes tenter d'y accéder.
Au départ, il est impossible de s'imaginer que ce trou mène à un long tunnel dont l'ouverture donne directement sur l'océan Pacifique. La distance est tout de même assez importante.
Le trou est relativement profond et nous n'osons pas sauter à l'intérieur de ce trou. Des personnes s'y trouvaient déjà et nous ont gentiment aider à descendre.
Il n'y a pas beaucoup de place à l'intérieur de cette grotte et le plafond est très bas. Les filles sont déjà dans l'eau. Je m'avance tranquillement et je m'assoies sur les toutes petites roches qui tapissent le sol.
La marée est plutôt basse et quelques vagues pénètrent à l'intérieur de la grotte et viennent se fracasser sur le rivage.
Le site est magnifique et envoûtant. Le soleil s'infiltre à travers les multiples trous et illumine ainsi l'intérieur de la grotte.
Pour sortir de la grotte, il a fallu encore une fois avoir l'aide de gentils samaritains. Deux personnes à l'intérieur du trou m'ont servi de piliers et deux personnes au haut du trou m'ont tirée vers l'extérieur.
Certaines personnes réussissent à s'extirper de la grotte par un trou beaucoup plus petit. Il me manquait encore quelques centimètres pour y accéder.
Lorsque la marée est basse et qu'aucune vague n'est visible, il est possible de sauter dans l'océan et nager jusqu'à l'intérieur de la grotte.
Cependant, il est important de comprendre que pénétrer dans la grotte lorsque la marée est haute ou qu'il y a des vagues, que ce soit par le trou mentionné précédemment ou via l'océan, est potentiellement dangereux. Vous risquez d'être projetés sur les rochers.
