User reviews
"I decided to grab some food from a shrimp truck and then searched for a picturesque spot to enjoy my lunch. This beach turned out to be the perfect choice."
Daniel Hollister
"While driving around, we stumbled upon a beach area that left us in awe. The beauty of this place is truly remarkable and far less crowded than the popular Waikiki beach. The atmosphere is serene, peaceful and exudes a tranquil beauty that is hard to find elsewhere. It was our last day here and we regretted not discovering this side of the island earlier. But we are grateful..."
