Located in a residential neighborhood in Hawaii Kai, Spitting Cave is a dramatic rocky outcropping offering breathtaking ocean views. Ocean swells surge into the narrow coastal cavern below and blast outward in a spectacular spitting effect. Visitors can watch the powerful waves crash against the lava rock shoreline, though cliff jumping is extremely hazardous and strongly discouraged.
Expert notes

- Dress appropriately for the weather and wear sturdy shoes.
- Bring a camera to capture the stunning views and water spouts.
- Visit early in the morning or late afternoon for fewer crowds.
