Battery Hasbrouck

👍 Kind of eerie walking around the bunkers. Quiet, except for the occasional jet approaching Honolulu International Airport (right next door). Looks like some local teens use the place for parties at night. Still, a historical place to visit, and unique. Battery Hasbrouck was one of several coasta...

    Creepy!!! Check out Wikipedia for more info & a map of the original battery. It's hidden back off the road, there aren't any signs or gates saying it's off limits. Disregard any pics of the beach or airfield - although nearby, they're different locations & not the battery. There's a lot of trash & graffiti, but if you're brave, take a flash light & explore! It's over 100 years old!!

    Kind of eerie walking around the bunkers. Quiet, except for the occasional jet approaching Honolulu International Airport (right next door). Looks like some local teens use the place for parties at night. Still, a historical place to visit, and unique. Battery Hasbrouck was one of several coastal artillery batteries to defend Pearl Harbor starting in 1907. It was constructed from July 1909 to 1914 and was equipped with eight 12-inch coast defense mortars, with a range of about 15,000 yards. It was named for General Henry Cornelius Hasbrouck (1839–1910) son of William C. Hasbrouck. The batteries were placed behind massive reinforced concrete walls about 20 feet thick, which were in turn behind 30 feet of earth.

    Hardly anyone is going to find this. It's deep and recessed in the woods. Big open buildings with neat connections between them that would make for great paintballing.

    Hidden but not way out of the way. Interesting to explore with some inside access on both floors. Need Hickam base access. Good spot for plane watching.

    Remarkable piece of history if you can find it. Lot of thorns on the ground so be careful when you walk around. Use the web to do some research before you go.

    I fish the flats here - nice and quiet, and much better since they did away with "dog beach" - people allowed to let their dogs roam off leash. I was chased far too many times and who cleans up after the dog that craps in the water? Not the owner, that's for sure.

    Can't get in the battery really anymore, but Kamehameha Beach is right there. Shallow and calm and water for the little ones. The water when clear is nice to be in, but it can get extremely cloudy which prevents you from seeing large chunks of rock/coral that can hurt bare feet.

    Lots of graffiti, but a relic if the past. Visit with flash lights to explore the inside!!
