The protected reef in this pretty crescent shaped beach with lots of palms is great for swimming, snorkeling, and beachcombing. Snorkeling is a popular activity here, with an abundance of colorful, reef fish, coral, sponges, and you may even spot a honu (green sea turtle). Swimming is usually safe year-round in the large lagoon and the sunsets are spectacular. Salt ponds are nearby where generations past made salt by evaporating seawater in red earthen pans and still do today. Please do not enter the salt-making area. Respectfully observe from a distance. The beach is also great for windsurfing, boogie boarding and exploring the tidepools. There is a lifeguard on duty; and amenities include picnic tables, pavilions, grills, camping, restrooms, and showers.
