OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Ironwood Beach
is a medium sized, wide, secluded beach which is never
crowded. It can get windy in the afternoon,
so the morning is best at this beach. It is popular among locals who come to
this white-sand beach for sunbathing and
body boarding and surfing. Located at the Kapalua
Resort in front of the Ironwood villas. This
is one of our favorite beaches.
Ironwood Beach is a 15-minute walk north of
Kapalua Bay and has great views of Molokai.
Waves can get
quite big here. There is also a mix of a
sandy and reef/rock bottom, so its not the
best for swimming.
Activities here are swimming (beware of the
surf), snorkeling when surf down, surfing
and boogieboarding when the surf is up.
There are no amenities here and the parking
lot can fill up fast. It doesn't hold many
cars. There is also a long semi steep path
you have to use to get down to the beach. |

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. |
