OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Papalaua Beach offers numerous offshore breaks for the
surfers in the crowd. The beach itself is long and narrow,
but there is plenty of room to lay out provided you keep a
lookout for the numerous, and painful, kiawe tree stickers.
Swimming and snorkeling here is decent enough, but not
spectacular. Like other beaches along the highway, Papalaua
can be convenient if not spectacular. Camping is allowed
here by permit. |

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. |
