the West Side
Kuilioloa Heiau
A heiau on the point at the end of Pokai Bay, out over the water on three sides.
Why go
The setting does the work. It sits on a spit with the Waianae range behind it and the bay on either side, and almost nobody is there.
The catch
The beach park it sits in is a local one and can be busy at weekends. Do not leave anything in the car.

Getting there
Driving times on real roads, from the same data the trip planner routes on — not straight-line distance.
| From Waikīkī | 1 hr 2 min | 36.5 miles |
|---|---|---|
| From HNL airport | 1 hr 3 min | 33 miles |
| From Mākaha | 10 min | 3 miles |
| From Ko Olina | 24 min | 10.2 miles |
Add traffic. These are free-flowing times, and the H1 through town at eight in the morning is not free-flowing.
