The state lookout on the Pali Highway gap through the Koʻolau. State Parks lists daily hours and a parking fee. A geocode of the wayside did not return, so there is no pin.

Effort follows the agency difficulty when one was published: easy is gentle, moderate and easy-to-moderate are steady, and moderate-to-difficult or an agency description of a strenuous climb is strenuous. It is a sorting aid, not a safety rating.
Access and permission
Hours posted: daily 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. No reservation was listed on the page reviewed.
Parking: residents no charge; non-residents $7 per vehicle. Commercial PUC vehicles: $15 (1–7 passengers), $30 (8–25), $50 (26+).
Conditions, separate from permission
State Parks says winds are usually strong enough that a person can lean on the wind. That is their description of the lookout, not a rating that the cliff edge is safe. Stay behind the barriers that are actually there when you arrive.

What to bring
- A layer. The page describes strong wind. Sun protection if you will stand in the open.
Logistics
- The wayside is on the Pali Highway between Honolulu and Kāneʻohe. Turn-by-turn was not copied because the page's captured text did not include a driving paragraph beyond the place name.
- No map pin. A reliable geocode was not returned for this entry.

- Thinksport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+, 3 fl oz
For exposed walks and shoreline time. The Amazon listing checked on Nov 7, 2026 is titled Thinksport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ Zinc Oxide, 3 fl oz. That listing text says the formula uses zinc oxide (it states 24.25%) and lists oxybenzone among ingredients it does not contain. It did not explicitly say octinoxate in the text reviewed. Hawaiʻi Revised Statutes §342D-21 makes it unlawful to sell or distribute sunscreen containing oxybenzone or octinoxate in the state without a prescription. Read the current tube before you buy. Listing text changes.
