Ho'okena - all beaches

This place is perfect for cliff jumping or heading down to the sandy section for families with young children and sunbathing.

What a hidden gem this beach turned out to be! The sand was simply stunning, the entire area was immaculately clean, and the water was so tranquil - perfect for snorkeling. While we were there, we were lucky enough to witness a group of dolphins frolicking in the sea. However, it's worth noting that parking is limited, so make sure to arrive early to secure a spot. The pavilion provided ample shade, and the availability of bathrooms and showers was a welcome bonus.

This is a lovely destination to explore! Show respect and have a great time at the Bay. The official name of this beach is Honaunau Beach, hence its location on Honaunau Beach Rd. The local community finds it quite disrespectful to refer to it as Two Steps Beach, especially considering that their families have resided in the neighboring land for five or more generations. However, you'll be treated to breathtaking sights of various marine creatures, and if you're lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of dolphins or turtles in the vicinity.

This beach is truly exceptional. As the name implies, there is no sand to be found here, but the smooth, circular pebbles more than make up for it. The sound of the waves gently tumbling the stones back and forth with the ebb and flow of the tide is both mesmerizing and calming. The road leading to the beach is quite steep, with a significant change in elevation, but the payoff is well worth it. During our visit, there were only a handful of other beachgoers, which made for an incredibly peaceful and rejuvenating experience. This is an ideal spot to capture some stunning photographs, enjoy a leisurely lunch, and simply unwind."

This place is simply wonderful! The sunset scenery is breathtakingly beautiful and the snorkeling experience is fantastic, especially when the ocean is tranquil. However, it's advisable to wear shoes while entering the water as the pathway can be rocky. Even as a novice swimmer, I found the snorkeling to be comfortable and enjoyable in this serene location.
