• Known by surfers for:

        - A long ride. Surfers will compete on waves that could possibly last the length of five football fields.

• Beach access: A bit of a trek. It’s a quarter-mile hike from the highway to a rocky shoreline and very limited beach area. Our advice? Find a comfortable spot along the cliffs of Honolua Bay for a better vantage point. Lipoa Point, further north along the highway also offers a panoramic view.

• Bathrooms? No

• Food and drinks? No
