Kahaluʻu Beach Park

Hawaiian green sea turtles — honu — feed on the reef algae here every day. They are federally and state protected. Stay at least ten feet back, do not touch, do not feed, do not chase or follow. The turtles have habituated to people; if one swims toward you, hold your ground and let it pass. The north end of the beach has heiau remains and other archaeological features — do not climb on the walls, do not collect rocks, do not enter posted areas. Reef-safe sunscreen only; the reef is what makes this place worth visiting.
