Kahe is located on the leeward coast of Oahu and is best known for Kahe Point, popularly referred to as 'Electric Beach' by divers and snorkelers. The name comes from the adjacent power plant, whose warm water outflow attracts a wide variety of fish and turtles. Hawaiian Electric Beach Park provides easy access to this underwater paradise. The water here is exceptionally clear and often provides sightings of spinner dolphins just offshore. Just a short distance away lies the luxury Ko Olina resort, featuring beautiful man-made lagoons that are well-suited for families. The area is famous for its spectacular sunsets over the Pacific. Hiking trails along the cliffs offer dramatic views of the coastline and whale-watching opportunities during the winter months.
