Chun’s Reef & Laniakea

Laniakea Beach Support Park is three acres of undeveloped land owned by the City and County of Honolulu on the inland side of Kamehameha Highway at Laniakea. A sand beach fronts the park, but is lined with a rocky shelf. Seaweed growing on the shelf and the ocean bottom attracts turtles to the beach, many of them coming ashore to rest on the sand near Pohaku Loa Way. During periods of high surf, a powerful rip current runs through the wide channel on the west side of Laniakea. Surfers use the long sand beach fronting the park to reach several surf sites besides Laniakea, including Hultin's and Himalayas.
