Honolua Bay

During the summer months, divers and snorkelers enjoy this marine-life conservation district where tropical fish and turtles flock to the warm waters.The beach is rocky and not especially great for swimming or sunbathing, but if you want to see tropical fish, you’ve come to the right place! The bay itself is the real draw.There are two parking areas for this beach and each requires a short hike before you can access the bay.We recommend driving down to the second parking area, which is larger.You’ll see porta-potties in the lot; don’t let that discourage you.The walk to the water takes you through a beautiful jungle trail.
