Information

Olowalu Beach is a favorite snorkeling spot for tourists, and for good reason. While it does not offer the incredible snorkeling of a Honolua Bay or La Perouse, it is much more accessible and undaunting for the complete novice. The coral reefs here are expansive and are home to a wide variety of colorful and multi-shaped fish. The water here is usually very tranquil and shallow, making it necessary to negotiate your way through channels in spots where the coral reaches the surface.

Directions

Drive on Honoapiilani Hwy. 30. towards Lahaina. As the name suggests, just look for Mile Marker 14.
