Description
Winter waves cover this rock and the tide pools along the side of it at Kula'ila'i (Makua) beach. Named "Pray for Sex" back in the 70's the name was painted on the face of this rock. Locals jump off the right side of it between the the rocks at the base of it. Dangerous surf at times.
Makua Valley is located on Oahu's leeward (west) coast on the foothills of the Waianae Mountains. The valley is spoken about prominently in Hawaiian tales, myth and music. The word Makua means parent in the Hawaiian language, and legend has it that Makua Valley was the place where man was first created. Conversely, Hawaiians consider the valley to be the point from where souls depart for an afterlife once the human form has been cast off. It is for this reason that one can see many memorials to the dead along the rocky cliffs lining the shore.
This Beach was a stopping point for outrigger canoes coming around Kaena Point from the North Shore in ancient times. Craig Wood
