Coming to my island for a vacation? want to visit there are three things I always recommend the first time. Before going on a sightseeing flight. Second-go to a Luau. Finally, I would advise people of all ages to enter the water and snorkeling. The 'one-one-one, the world lived fish-eye "magic of swimming in the lagoons warm bath surrounded by clouds of tropical fish is an amazing, relaxing and invigorating exercise its head down on that experience andOver the years much more than many of your travel experiences. Part of this series discussed snorkeling, Part II of this series discussed covered snorkeling equipment and snorkeling Etiquette Part III, Part IV of the series discussed security mouthpiece and Part V covers Big Iceland snorkeling spot.
Of all the Hawaiian Islands, because it is the youngest of the Big Island has the lowest number of small beaches and more ... which leads to crowding at the height of tourist seasonin some beaches. Because Hawaii is still rural, there are still some desert (hiking only) beaches, some of which are among the best on the island.
Many camped out on beaches can be wild, but you must request permission from the relevant department. Overnight in tents on the beaches of Hawaii Air simplified due to the mild rule, I take a few liters of water, sandwiches, my camera, dry clothes for post-snorkeling comfort, fleece blanket and a mat to sleep on riceon (a towel is sufficient) and a small plane on the remote chance of rain. The key here is that if the weather gets really bad, it is rarely more than an hour of your car. You might want to bring a few liters of water to rinse the salt after swimming, it is difficult to sleep comfortably with skin salt.
Two things to keep in mind the area, although sometimes it seems Hawaii is not the high tide and low tide ... Camp and return to the beach. Secondly, not only for beach firesillegal, are extremely dangerous for most of the beaches on the west side.
Ke-awa-iki Beach (park off Highway 19 north of Mile 79, along the dirt road to the sea walk to a fence and walked about 15 minutes from the beach): A short walk across a road and lava prizes A'A is not known with a beautiful local beach. These small black sand beach has good snorkeling on the south side, where there is still plenty of white sand. This black and white sand beachare created after the 1859 eruption of Mauna Kea, lava when the northern end of the beach where the sand is black today. Further south along the beach, the youngest black sand does not have time to mix well with the white sand was already in place.
If you continue south, there are plenty of tide pools to explore.
Hiking in the north, you reach the Pueo Bay, where sources of fresh water snorkeling make it interesting, but strangely, with the large temperature and salinity gradients. Take the pathinland waterways in the direction of a visible growth of Hala trees, you get a pair of beautiful golden pool. A golden algae are these pools their characteristic color, but be sure not to damage the growth walk on it. End the walk back through the A'A ... about 4 miles, round trip.
Makalawena off Beach (Highway 19 south of Mile 90 at Kekahakai State Park, just down the road, turn north clearly through the lava field, crossing washes and rough breaks Keawe,so work shoes required): Makalawena is the most beautiful swimming and snorkeling beach on the island and creating the most beautiful beach. This beach sports a series of coves, refreshing shade, large sand dunes and a beautiful fresh water pond to wash away the pack in a weekend of great dimensions, do not forget your camera, this trip will be a major highlight of your Big Island trip.
The country singer is the beach of the bishop of property and planned to become a development of condominiums and resorts;can watch and protest from the locals and visitors is the only way to stop these wild wild beach Kona.
Pawa Bay (Kailua Kona, go to the end of the old airport Beach County Park, hiking along the ocean for the first, of course, the sandy bay): spectacular, secluded, secret, Pawa Bay is perhaps the most interesting snorkeling on ' island. Walk along the cliffs and coves about 15-20 minutes north, to the camp children Lilioukalani Queen's Bay in Pawa. Remember meHawaiians are not limited to travel along the intertidal zone and only the edge of the coast ... a few meters inland of risk is trespassing.
Pawa Bay has a sandy beach with a small channel selection and the open sea, snorkel and exciting. Many charter can snorkel tours bring customers here, but you go free. underwater caves, arches and caves are full of fish and coral and the water unpolluted. From the shore, this is not an adventure for the rank novice snorkeling.
Swimmingacross the bay of sand and rock for the channel. Be careful when you go to surginess and not when the surf is great. Once in the largest bay, looking back towards the shore, where many small ducts lead bank was dead, but ends in cliffs, and the way back is the only channel through which you can see the sand at the end.
The bay itself is located on Queen Lilioukalani Trust lands. Not natives of Hawaii are not allowed on the ground or use the facilities. State laws allow access to the beach to visit, asAs long stay on the immediate coast, the beach is 24 / 7 monitored.
Captain Cook Monument (Napo'opo'o the path leaves the road, directly on the phone 4-pole, 500 feet below is the Highway 11, parking is tight but safe): This hike is a walk between the ' tall grass, open lava fields and areas of dry forest, the opening of the most pristine ocean beaches of the world. Walking on the monument is a great pleasure to come back is hot, thirsty and demanding, butRewards with panoramic views over the coast. The hike of 2.5 miles an hour down a bit 'more to go. The road leads straight to the left side of a cliff into the sea. Since the passage equalized, turn left at the fork and go to the sea through the deserted village. You hit the coast several hundred meters north-west of the monument, I remember, right at the junction contribute to the return, or you travel a long and unpleasant A'AFields.
Snorkeling at the monument of wild and scenic, north of tidepools surface pylons on the steep drop-off among the rocks. It is a marker of cement in the intertidal zone is the exact point Cook fell just north of the monument itself.
off Honomalino Beach (Highway 11 south of mile marker 89, drive through Miloli'i;. Start walking between the county park and a church to hold together the yellow truck in the right path, in and out of the shipping line to avoidPrivate property), a true gem of West Hawaii, and rarely crowded, Honomalino Bay by a 20 minute walk from the south end of the beach Miloli'i County Park is reached. Snorkeling is very interesting, on the north side of the rock when the surf is small. The water, however, very clear, sometimes very cold by the discharge of sand on the beach in spring.
Mahana Green Sand Beach (off Highway 11 in South Point, follow the dock Mahana. Park on the ramp of the boat for 2 1 / 4excursion to Green Mile Sand Beach): Absolutely unique in Hawai'i, beautiful and strange, are the green sand. The green sand beach at South Point is the most famous, largest and most accessible of these. The sand grains are olivine crystals from a cinder cone, the wounded, some coastline.
When you reach the end of the road there are about a hundred yards above the beach on the border with the rest of the crater. This is quite difficult to place on a corner, Strip of 3 meters, but below this range is wide and clear easy to get to the center of the cone, but can be slippery. Although difficult to land on the road, the beach, looking for the way back to the crater rim is easy to follow.
The beach is located inside the cone, and the protected bay makes for a wonderful swimming / snorkeling spot but be careful and currents. Do not go away, either generally in high waves or strong winds. The bizarre color of the waterScream for color photos, especially the underwater shots while snorkeling.
