"Looking for the ultimate vibe? I'm convinced it doesn't get any better than ordering pizza and bringing it to China Walls for sunset! There's guaranteed to be groups of people out here, speakers playing music, and people jumping off of the rocks into the ocean. I could have come here every sunset and been perfectly happy. If you prefer a secluded experience, there are definitely spots away from everyone that you can hangout at.
Things to note:
-It is a younger crowd and social atmosphere. Expect there to be the occasional smoking/drinking.
-Bring a swimsuit just incase, but swimming just depends on the waves that day. There might be none, or they can be intense and extremely dangerous.
-Parking can be a pain. It's free, but you'll have to park in/near a neighborhood (make sure there are no signs that mention towing/ticketing; they're clearly marked). So make sure to show up early so you have time to search and secure a spot! Parking is permitted in Hanapepe Loop.
This is not considered a hike, so it is not on AllTrails."

"Whatch the surfers enjoying the waves for sunset. Also if you like to jump go for it, I did it too! Lots of fun but check first how you get out of the water. The locals will show you, go with the waves and climb. "
