Honokōhau Beach & Ai’opio Beach
Ai’opio Beach
We listed these two beaches together because they are connected to each other. Ai’opio Beach, which leads into Honokōhau Beach (also known as Honokōhau Bay) is a stunning beach located on the western coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. This beautiful stretch of coastline is known for its pristine white sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and abundant marine life, making it a popular destination for beachgoers, snorkelers, and nature enthusiasts. If you’re wanting to get your turtle fix, this is the place!
Honokōhau Beach
In addition to its stunning natural beauty, this area is also steeped in cultural significance and a part of the Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park. The area is home to ancient Hawaiian fishponds, petroglyphs, and archaeological sites, providing a glimpse into the rich history and heritage of the Hawaiian people.
We hope you enjoy these suggestions and get to explore Honokōhau Harbor on your trip to Big Island, Hawaii. Don’t forget to swing by our Captain Zodiac office to say aloha, book a tour, or grab a souvenir!
