The snorkeling was wonderful. We went to several locations outside of our resort. Hanalei was wonderful snorkeling; the waters were so very blue and the fish would come right up to you. At our resort beach, the fish were as big as your two fists and they would swarm around you looking for food. A great pastime of the travelers is to buy packs of food and feed the fish out of their hands. We even snorkeled a section of the Napali coast during our boat excursion. The water is so clear that from the top of the boat, you could see the bottom. Dolphins were our swim mates. Scupa diving off the north shore was a definite new for me. We dived to about 60 feet. The coral was beautiful along with the many varieties of fish we swam with. We were even up close and personal with a sea turtle on more than one occasion.

This was the best one we found for snorkeling right off the beach. Very clear water and pretty fish. Monk seals were roped off on the beach, and were sunning almost every day.

Colorful tropical fish, sea turtles, sea lions, dolphins, and other delightful surprises in beautiful, clear, warm water.

Play area for small children and restaurant across the street.

Very nice beach for families with grassy area in addition to the sand. Good and save for small children to wade/swim and look for small fish in the tidepools. On-site restaurant and restrooms.

It was very beautiful and quiet with no one else on the beach except you and your loved one. Very easy to get to and never crowded, at many times it was just us on the beach.
