Swimming with Dolphins at Makua Beach | Best Beaches on Oahu, Hawaii

Want to swim with wild spinner dolphins? Makua Beach is one of best beaches on Oahu to swim with dolphins. Dolphin pods swim past this beach pretty regularly (although not every day). They can usually be spotted in the mornings. The beach itself is big and get’s relatively low traffic. Although there isn’t much coral here and the water gets deep pretty fast, I was still able to see lots of fish, turtles, dolphins, and a Hawaiian Monk seal.
