MĀKAHA BEACH

Protecting Mākaha Beach

Farrington Highway is a critical transportation route for our Waiʻanae Coast communities. 


At Mākaha Beach, its proximity to the shoreline raises important questions about coastal flooding, beach erosion, public access, and long-term community resilience.

For decades, community members have advocated for the Mākaha Beach Park Master Plan and the exploration of a mauka highway alignment that would move transportation infrastructure farther from the shoreline.


Decades of Community Advocacy

The effort to protect Mākaha Beach did not begin yesterday. For generations, our community has raised concerns about the future of our shoreline, public access, and transportation infrastructure.


Through petitions, community meetings, and ongoing advocacy, residents have continued to call for long-term planning that protects Mākaha Beach and the people who depend on it.

#SaveMākahaBeach

Mahalo nui loa to the 2,223 individuals who supported the Save Mākaha Beach petition.


This petition called for consideration of the mauka highway alignment and the protection of Mākaha Beach during the bridge replacement and highway planning process.

Farrington Highway Realignment Study: What Happened to the Funding?

In May 2021, the Oʻahu Metropolitan Planning Organization voted to discontinue the Mākaha Beach realignment feasibility study after it had reached approximately 10% completion. The remaining $402,268 in study funding was reallocated to a transportation study in Ala Moana. 


Despite this setback, efforts to advance the realignment continued. Additional City and federal funding was sought to support further study of the proposed mauka highway alignment. 


Kingdom Pathways continues to advocate for long-term coastal and transportation planning that protects Mākaha Beach, addresses community safety, and considers the future of our shoreline.

Improvements & Accomplishments

Mālama ʻāina also means caring for the spaces our community uses every day.


Through continued advocacy and collaboration with the City and County of Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation, concerns regarding accessible parking signage and missing posts at Mākaha Beach Park were addressed.

Sand Sifting Workshop & Beach Cleanup

Mahalo nui loa to our Aloha ʻĀina Youth Ambassadors, Cee-Jay and Achilliez, for hosting their first Sand Sifting Workshop!


Through hands-on learning, our youth helped raise awareness about microplastics, marine debris, and ways we can reduce plastic pollution in our oceans.


Together with community volunteers, they collected 336 pounds of debris in 16 trash bags along a one-mile stretch of coastline.
