    Tips

    November 14, 2019

    From the parking lot it’s a 1 mile walk, passing beautiful Mahai‘ula Beach and then walking across the lava field on a walkway, for which you should bring proper shoes. Flipflops are not recommended. Once you’re there, it’s beautiful! White sand beach, perfect water. There are just a few places offering shadow and the walk can be sweaty during midday. Bring water and a trash bag, as this beach is not serviced.
