Guide
Good to know
Calm river inlet for young children
Where the freshwater stream meets the ocean, shallow calm water offers a gentler spot than the open ocean waves.
Go to watch surfers, not swim
This is primarily a surf beach with massive waves; most visitors come to observe experienced surfers rather than swim themselves.
Arrive early for parking
Street parking is extremely limited and fills quickly, with no good turnaround space on the narrow road.
Wear water shoes to the water
The shoreline is rough black volcanic sand, pebbles, coral fragments, and lava rock that hurt bare feet.
Strong currents require experience
The river outflow creates intense currents and rip currents; only strong swimmers should enter the ocean water.

How far is the walk to the water at Honoli'i Beach Park?
50 ft in a straight line from the listing to the mapped shoreline, under a minute. Soft sand and dune make the real walk longer than the straight line.
Does Honoli'i Beach Park have restrooms?
