Details
Honolua Bay (“two harbors” in Hawaiian) is a popular destination for scuba diving, snorkeling, and surfing three miles north of Kapalua and about a 20-minute drive north of Lahaina. Designated a Marine Life Conservation District, there is no fishing allowed (or taking of any natural resources); therefore, there is an abundance of diverse sea life, including honu (sea turtles), several reef fish varieties, vibrant coral formations, and the occasional spinner dolphin. The beach with its rocky shoreline is not ideal for sunbathing, but the sheltered bay makes it a popular spot for snorkeling, and the bluffs offer spectacular views. Surfing lessons are available but if you’re on your own, be aware of wave conditions in winter. There are no amenities or lifeguards on duty.
