OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Hamoa Beach is
one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii.
In fact it has been on many top ten lists of
best beaches in the world years running. It
has been mentioned by the likes of Mark
Twain and James Michner.
It is a medium shade sand beach in a private
little cove surrounded by cliffs on all
sides. You must traverse a somewhat seep
paved path and steps to get down to the
beach. The water is a crystal clear blue
with many beautiful rock formations in the
bay.
The snorkeling and scuba diving is great
here when the surf is down. Otherwise the
surfing, boogie boarding and body surfing
can be fun.
Guests from the Hana Hotel are shuttled in
so there are great amenities and the area is
really kept up well. There are restrooms,
showers and picnic benches in a grassy area. |

Continue driving out of Hana town as if you are going to the
seven pools. Hamoa Beach is about a five minute drive from
Hana. Turn left at the sign for Hamoa Beach. You cant miss
it. This is a road that does a loop by the ocean. You will

While
Hawaii's beaches can bring much enjoyment,
it is always a good practice to use common
sense while visiting them. Please be aware
of the wave & wind conditions before going
into the water. Mornings are usually best
for swimming, snorkeling or diving. Have
respect for the strength of the waves and be
aware that high surf can come up at any
time. NEVER turn your back to the ocean.
Be careful when exploring any rocky
shorelines. Waves can crash on the rocks and
knock you over easily, and the rocks may
also be sharp when walking on them.
When snorkeling or scuba diving, please have
respect for ocean life, and remember that
the coral reef is alive too. Avoid standing
on or touching if at all possible. |
