Honomalino Bay

The hike across rough ʻaʻā lava is sun-exposed and largely shadeless; bring at least two liters of water per person and closed-toe shoes. Reef-safe sunscreen if swimming. Sea turtles routinely rest on the beach; stay ten feet back, do not touch, do not feed. Pack out everything; there are no facilities. Strong currents can develop at the bay mouth, particularly in winter — assess conditions before swimming. The trail is part of the broader Hawaiian leeward coastal trail network; treat it accordingly.
