Laie is not super convenient to get to from anyplace on Oahu really. Its easiest to go from the North Shore (visit a shrimp truck before or after!) or Kaneohe. Parking was tight! And not a lot of spaces. But I was surprised to see small tour buses there. If there's no spots one should free up if you wait a bit. This park is beautiful. Jagged rocks and crazy rock formations to see. Pounding waves, strong tradewinds. The closest rock formation that can be seen in the rock bridge out in the water (can't get there on foot) with a hole in the middle (from a tsunami decades ago), but its beautiful to photograph. Then walk to the end of the long point and see the waves pound. Cool rocks but sharp to walk on, be careful. Then there is the spot where they jumped off the rock in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. And there were people jumping that day when we were there. Only for the experienced it seemed. read more

My cousin sends me a pic of him doing a back flip off this point saying "don't tell my mom!" Omg! This is crazy?! But I have seen this before? Oh that's right, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The cliff seemed so much bigger in the movie. But I'm glad I found it. It was very easy to locate, just put the yelp address in the navigation. Park in the dirt lot, it's rocky and uneven terrain. Be careful where you step and never get to close to the edge. The day we visited, the sea was quite angry and I couldn't imagine jumping in the water. Remember the power of the ocean and have respect. There was several fishermen doing their thing off to the side. The view was amazing and you don't have to do any work to see it and the puka in the rock. Simply beautiful. read more

Okay.. after driving day after day on the island of O'ahu, I believe this was my favorite place to visit. Not only was the view epic and grand, but the scale of everything was massive and inspiring. I REALLY enjoyed this location. To the left of the point, you could see the iconic rock... to the center a pathway that leads to another lonely, small island (and a really small one I mean.. lol), and to the right there are mountains off into the distant while waves crash into the beach shore. I literally lost my breath here!!! This was my favorite place (DID I MENTION THAT?!) in O'ahu. A must see!!! read more

Absolutely breathtaking view. Definitely must stop here if visiting the North Shore. One of my favorites. Be warned as parking is sparse, but tourists don't stay too long. Hopefully you're lucky and get to see some people jump off the cliff into the ocean. read more

What: Scenic lookout, Legend More Info: There is a parking space (no parking fee) next to the Laie Point; No restrooms The La'ie Point offers breathtaking views of the ocean, Windward coastline and the Ko'olau mountains. The Goat Island can be seen from here. This place has a legend, where Kana (a legendary warrior) killed the Mo'o (giant lizard), smashed its head into five pieces, which are now seen as five islands from the La'ie Point. We spent close to an hour here, taking pictures and enjoying the beauty of this place. It is not a place that is safe for diving or swimming. read more

So beautiful- esp when you're jumping off the cliff there, water is great just be careful for the rocky climb up make sure you have swim shoes- my friends and I jumped in with what we had on to go tour the island and let me tell you the climb up was fine except the rocks- luckily ii didn't get cuts or any scrapes- but the diving experience was awesome read more

The view is breathtaking and nothing but spectacular. I haven't been here in years and each time is like the first time I've experienced this amazing view. Our friends were visiting so we decided to take a drive around the island. If you're going around the island, I recommend you make this a pit stop it's so worth it. Lai'e point is located right across the Polynesian Cultural Center through residential area. There's a small area where you can park which fits about five cars. Be careful though it can get pretty windy and there are no railings. read more

4th trip to Hawaii and couldn't believe I never knew of this place. Thanks to the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Travelocity reviews...I found this hidden gem. Went in February of this year during rainy season. It's so relaxing there. Barely any people, tourists bus do come, but not too much. Be careful walking on the rocks! They seem sharp. I had my Reefs on, and I managed. I was pretty depressed that day and coming here helped me to relax. I even met someone from Tahiti here who I ended up hanging out with the next day. He explained to me the story of the rocks. It was raining that day, so I had a hard time reading the plaque, luckily he wiped it off and told me the story. It's awesome! Then we watched the college students and locals jump off the cliff...then go through the "washing machine" to get back up on the rock. Awesome and peaceful, I'll be back to relax. Sad thing was a few days later I heard on the radio that a lady drove her car off the cliff :( RIP read more

Laie Point is most well-known for featuring the cliff jumping location in Forgetting Sarah Marshall with Jason Segel and Mila Kunis. You'll drive past a neighborhood and enter a small cul de sac with some parking up ahead and to the right. When you get there, you'll see the infamous rock with a big hole in it to your left. Straight ahead, you'll see the point. The rocks are really jagged and it's somewhat nice at the end, but I wouldn't recommend going through it if the rocks will give you trouble. To your right, you'll see a small path (might have broken glass shards, be careful). Follow that path, and you'll see a cliff that most people jump from. If you're interested in cliff jumping, I would only recommend to do so depending on the conditions (tide level, etc.). When I came, it was too low, so I didn't do it. Laie point has a nice view and is really relaxing, but there are a lot of other areas that are nicer like China Walls. read more

A wonderful little scenic spot. Great for photos and quiet time away from city chaos. Limited parking spots since it is located inside residential street. read more

Loved this spot. The view is beautiful. I jumped off the cliff into the ocean and climbed back up. It was exhilarating. The water was clear and this area is pretty isolated. Highly recommended stopping to enjoy the view. read more

Sooooooo beautiful and peaceful. Went around sunset and there were only a handful of other people there admiring the view. What a great place to watch the waves crash against the rocks. One of my favorite new spots on Oahu. read more

5 stars for the scenic view and ease of access. Laie Point is a unique scenic spot with a great natural vibe. Even if you only have a few minutes, it is worth a trip out to see the point. read more

I never would've known about this place if it weren't for Sam, one of our awesome guides at our ziplining tour. (CLIMB works - Keana Farms = best thing ever) jumping off of the cliff here was one of the highlights of my vacation, only 2nd to ziplining! I went to Waimea after to jump there and it just didn't compare! Definitely a great time at Laie Point, not to mention the view is gorgeous and the rock formations make for some great scenery. read more

Laie Point is gorgeous and serene! Go check it out when it is really windy. Get out of the car and walk to the edge...but be careful. Take note of the ocean splashing against the rocks. Breathe it all in. You can't ask for a perfect moment of peace and be in awe of what this piece of nature has to offer! read more

Not too far off the roadway/main path that you'd normally take; and a nice view of the rock formations that you'll see in the yelp pictures. There were a few fisherman, but we came to see it strictly for the view and photography purposes. A beautiful sight and you can be in and out in no time. There's a handful of parking spaces; and it wasn't crowded when we went. An easy stop. read more

One of my favourite places in Oahu. Laie Point is not far from the North Shore -- and absolutely breathtaking. Whether you go there to clear your head or take it all in, Laie Point will 100% leave you wow'd. read more

This is a magnificent and beautiful sight. There are several off shore islands with the closest one having a natural arch carved right smack in the center of it. There is probably no good way to time a visit here. We lucked out when we got there and got a parking space right away (early afternoon on a Wednesday) but this place is not a secret and can get crowded with tour groups. Be careful if you walk up to the edge of the point because the surf can be sneaky. read more

This spot is not visible from the main road so follow your GPS. Although there are some spots where you can park, our guide (a local) told us the area is not for parking. She stayed with our vehicle while we spent a few minutes exploring. It's a beautiful spot! read more

Look this place up on a map! A short drive from North Shore, and hidden off a residential street, it is one of the most picturesque places on the island, so it's worth the drive. Definitely a slice of heaven on the island probably most noted for Waikiki. read more

This is a beautiful spot and one I recommend everyone visiting, especially if they are driving along the coast. It is right off the main road but might be a little hard to find because there are no signs and you are literally driving past residential homes to the end of the street. It was very empty when we visited, just some local fisherman at the tip. You can walk to the rocky edges and can look south and north of the coast. There is a beautiful rock formation/island right off the north side of the point; I took a lot of beautiful pictures. Definitely a must see point on your North Shore excursion! read more

One of the most beautiful and majestic must stop and see places when in a Oahu. Yes, this is the rock from the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall but the neatest thing about this rock is the hole in the middle that was blown out by the force of the sea. When driving here you go through a residential area and at the dead-end street is where you'll find waves crashing against the beautiful rock beach. You can jump off the rock here and bring your camera for plenty of photo opportunities. read more

Laie Point - Beautiful!! - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Laie, Hawaii

If you're out by the Polynesian Cultural Center during the day, you gotta check it out! Nice lookout point thats relatively easy to get to just by walking! About 15-20 walk from PCC/Courtyard Marriot Oahu. I did it carrying a bag around 1pm. It was hot but worth it. (If you had a car, it's Literally minutes). It's back up through the residential area but just keep going. Was pretty quiet and relaxing with the waves crashing up the rocks occasionally. I'm sure there are prettier sites but this was soo easy to get to. read more

This is a fun and quick stop. It's absolutely gorgeous, but other than looking at the view and the crashing waves there isn't much in the way of recreation. There isn't really an entry point to the water as it's mostly small cliffs. But it's an easy drive up to the point: read more

One of the top locations we visited. It was breath taking, amazing and a def must to see while in Hawaii! read more

I've been on Oahu several time; heck I was born here. Yet I just discovered this place. There are no signs leading you here; in fact it looks like you're driving into a residential area, because you are. But at the end of the street, you will get a beautiful yet almost violent waves against a scenic rocky beach. The point is just that, a point. A couple of islands are just off it giving you majestic wave action and scenes. One of the island has a puka (Hawaiian word for hole). Parking is limited and difficult. No fees or entrance. Just a magical place that the locals only know. Bring your camera; you will take multiple photos here. read more

This is an incredibly beautiful spot for photos and looking at the ocean. Highly recommend stopping. One of the most beautiful places in Hawaii I think read more

Found this place by accident by driving along the coast to north shore for Waikiki. This place was EMPTY! There are beaches just a few minutes from it and we had the place pretty much to ourselves. I am surprised I was even able to see this on yelp. This will be my go to spot next time I visit there. There was some traffic driving, but really no one there. The markets just down the street and theres an ono Hawaiian if you want to get some grub for the beach. The beach inst as clean as Waikiki, but the waters are just as warm and it was really nice not to be around so many people. read more

Hands down my favorite spot on oahu! The homie took us here and I am really glad that we got a chance to see this place! It was windy as hell but the waves were really anazing. I honestly have never been to the North Shore and I have never seen waves that active! Apparently this was the place where they shot the movie forgetting Sarah Marshall. There were a bunch of kids (locals) jumping off the side of the cliff and I thought that was insane considering how powerful the waves were moving. we even saw one boy jump off the cliff and got moved by the waves so hard that his pants came off lol. jumping off the cliff looks like fun and hopefully one day Ill have the balls to jump off them myself. The water was extremely blue. I love watching the waves crash against the rocks so forcefully that it looked like the water was exploding. I wish I lived in Hawaii and if I did I would come here all the time to come and relax and just take in all the scenery. The lush green mountains in the back also created the perfect backdrop. read more

Pretty cool little spot. You can see all along the HI coastline. Good place to go surf fishing too. Any given time, there's at least 10 people fishing out there. read more

There's not much information about this place. I was randomly flipping through a travel book and read up about it. I knew I had to see this place and I wasn't disappointed. It's so pretty here. The waves crashing agains the edge. There are locals fishing on the rock. You can't take a bad picture here. read more

In the middle of freaking nowhere pretty much. You have to go through a residential neighborhood, take a left at the man with the sign saying go the other way, hook a right 200 yards down, count 100 paces and then spin around and you might make it to this place without guidance from a tourist book, a map, or god forbid you should ask someone that actually lives around the area. It was a pretty cool place to watch the waves crash against the rocks and see hundreds of crabs running away from you as you approach them. There are a ton of fishing holes in the rocks for you to put your rod into (get it....yeah I know, 12 year old humor). Not a lot of parking space or room to maneuver if it somehow gets busy. Watch out for the Mormons scampering around as the BYU campus is just down the road. read more

What can I say??? This place is so beautiful! Took my mom this past weekend and she hasn't been in more than 25 years. We forget sometimes and take it for granted. let's just say we'll be going more often read more

Very pretty spot. This is a place you must go if you are sight-seeing in Oahu.

Breathtaking views here today with cool breezes and great opportunities for cliff jumping!

Totally one of the best cliff jumping spots I've ever visited. When we arrived there was no one else there, but we found the small square slabs and got ready to jump off - then everyone showed up (all locals). This is a super thrilling jump combined with a technical-ish departure route out of the ocean. Recommend this jump for anyone looking epic shots of the coastline and as a step-up from Waimea Bay. read more

witness the power of the ocean, and also witness daring (or stupid) locals cliff jumping. its worth the quick stop for the photo.

If you're in the area, I would recommend that you stop by for a few minutes. It's a short walk from the road at the end of a residential street, but it's a pretty cool view. You walk to the edge of a rocky cliff, and a short distance away in the ocean is a large rock formation that has a hole punched punched through it from a tsunami a long time ago. A bit further away towards the Northeast, you can view the small island that you can swim to from the Malaekahana State Recreation Area. My only gripe is that due to the fisherman that must smoke a pack a minute, there are cigarette butts littered EVERYWHERE. You can park at the very end of the street, which it wouldn't appear like it unless someone else parked there as well. read more

Looks like a rock. Neat to see, I guess.... It'd be cooler if the "eye of modor" was in that giant puka. lol. If you're in the area, check it out. I don't think it's worth driving out there from town just to see it. read more

Always a stoping point multiple times throughout our trips here to the island of Oahu...sunrise is the perfect time
