By far my most favorite beach. It has it all: awesome snorkeling, views of the Bali Hai promontory and lush, vegetation-covered hills, waterfalls arcing down the aforementioned lushly green hills, beautiful sand, and surfers out on the breaks. The only problem is that parking is an issue, and because of the awesome snorkeling, it is more crowded than its location would ordinarily warrant. There is a definite current, so enter the water at the far right (east), snorkel with the current, and get out on the far left (west). The fish are, quite simply, enormous. They are the grown-up versions of all the other fish you've ever seen while snorkeling. Early morning is best to snag the parking. We like to get here first thing in the morning, then bail out when it really starts to get crowded and stop at Zelo’s in Hanalei for lunch.
