Kokololio, meaning “gusty” in Hawaiian, is the name of a valley and
a stream, located north of the town
Hauula on Oahu’s northeastern
coast. The beach park lies at the foot of the valley and next to the
stream. Kokololio Beach is a nice stretch of sand and during the
summer months, swimming is possible here.
In the winter time, it’s a nice spot to take some great pictures of
the pounding shorebreak or to go surfing or bodyboarding. Offshore
is a popular surf spot named CYO’s, which stands for Catholic Youth
Organization. The CYO used the house that stood once there (from the
Cooke family) as a retreat before it was bought by the City and
taken down to develop the park in 1991.

Safety Tip
Whatever beach in Hawaii you visit, please have in mind that the ocean can
be very dangerous. Never turn your back against the waves and watch out for underwater
currents and always check the surf conditions. Pay attention to signs posted on
the beach. If you are not sure about the conditions, ask the lifeguards (if any
on the beach). Please click here to
