Alan Davis Beach

Honolulu, Hawaii

About this spot

Alan Davis Beach sits on the Kaiwi coast below Makapuu — park at the Makapuu Lighthouse trailhead lot off Kalanianaole Highway and take the flat, easy 15-20 minute walk on the old road toward the shoreline. The famous jump feature has a long history: the state removed the original utility-pole diving plank back in 2011, and improvised wooden planks have come and gone since — but with or without a plank, the low rock ledge is still an easy, fun jump into a pretty, mostly protected little cove that's friendly for newer jumpers. Sandy-bottomed but shallow in spots, so check depth where you land; conditions get rougher when east swell wraps in. No facilities, no shade, no lifeguard — bring water.

Safety first. Cliff jumping is inherently dangerous and can cause serious injury or death. Conditions — water depth, submerged hazards, and access — change constantly. CliffScout is community-sourced reference information, not a guarantee a spot is safe. Always assess the conditions yourself before jumping, and never jump where you're unsure. You assume all risk.
