Guide

Good to know

Come for exceptional snorkeling and turtles
Reviewers consistently report abundant fish, coral, sea caves and 3-25 sea turtles visible in a single visit.
Go early morning or November
One reviewer reports the beach was uncrowded in November; another cites early morning snorkeling.
Visit on calm, flat-water days
High waves and south swells make visibility poor and entry dangerous over sharp lava rocks.
Wear reef shoes or dive boots
Sharp lava rocks and abundant sea urchins in shallow water will cut bare feet.
Expect rocky entry and exit
Scrambling over jagged lava boulders to reach the water requires balance and physical confidence.
