Things To Do: Turtle sightings
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Sit quietly on the beach and watch for a green sea turtle to come ashore to bask.
    In Hawaii, the green sea turtle is known as Honu (pronounced hoe-new).

    Adults can grow to 4 feet and weigh up to 400 pounds. The shell is a mottled dark brown on top and creamy white below. It is often covered in green algae .

    The turtles are protected species so just look do not touch.

    Things To Do: Marvel at the black sand
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • If you have never seen a black sand beach before then this will take some getting used to.
    It is a pretty beach lined with coconut palms.
    It is not really a good place to swim because of the strong undertow.

    Things To Do: Watch the ducks
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • In back of the beach is a duck pond. It is very relaxing to stand on the bridge and watch the ducks swimming around the pond. Many "lucky" ducks migrate and spend their winters in Hawaii.

    Things To Do: Crashing surf
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Just to the south is Panaluu Beach Park. It is a flat grassy area with several small trees near the beach.. From several vantage points you will be amazed at the crashing surf.

     Loved the tips about the turtles, the black sand beaches. Still smiling about the "lucky ducks". We did see black beaches in Maui, but yours looks even better. Can't believe that others have not stopped by to read these pages.
