Kahuku Point

A Biodiverse Ecosystem on Oahu

Kalaeokaunaʻoa, known as Kahuku Point, stands as a pristine stretch of untouched coastline along Oʻahu's North Shore. Renowned for its unspoiled coastal strand habitat, Kahuku Point embraces the natural splendor of ʻohai (Sesbania tomentosa), yellow-faced bees (Hylaeus anthracinus), monk seals (Monachus schauinslandi), nesting sea turtles (Hawksbill, Eretmochelys imbricata, and Green, Chelonia mydas), and Laysan albatross (Phoebastria immutabilis). This area is a rare sanctuary, preserving the delicate balance of diverse ecosystems.

Engaging the local community, the North Shore Community Land Trust spearheads a volunteer-driven initiative for coastline restoration and stewardship. Collaborating with Turtle Bay Resort and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Pacific Islands Coastal Program, this project symbolizes a commitment to the conservation and protection of Kahuku Point's unique biodiversity. Discover the untamed beauty of Kahuku Point, where community efforts converge to safeguard the ecological treasures of Oʻahu's North Shore.
