Makaha Beach Park is on the west, Waianae Coast, of Oahu in Hawaii, at the entrance of Makaha Valley and part of Makaha town, north of Lahiliahi Point, and southeast of Kepuhi Point.

Makaha Beach is very popular for surfing, with a worldwide reputation. During the winter months the surf can reach 25 feet high of Makaha Point, providing some of the most challenging surfing in the whole of Hawaii. So attractive was the surfing at Makaha that, in 1952, the Waikiki Surf Club established the Makaha International Surfing Championships. Today one of the most popular events is the annual Makaha is Buffalo's Big Board Contest, held in honour of Richard “Buffalo” Keaulana, a local surfing an lifeguard legend.

During the summer months, when the water is calmer, Makaha is a popular destination for scuba diving, with many dive boats departing from nearby Waianae Small Boat Harbor for the Makaha Caverns, a series of arches, caverns, and overhanging ledges near the surfing area. This is one of the most popular surf sites on Oahu.

Given it's popularity, it is to be expected that numerous hotels have developed in the region. These include the Makaha Resort Golf Club. Makaha is the last settlement of any size on the northern end of the Waianae Coast. North of here the road continues past various small beaches to Kaena State Park.

Makaha Beach Park is about 13 miles from the end of H1 from Honolulu. It is about 3 miles north of Waianae.
