Ho'okipa Beach
The beach is long and narrow white sand; uncrowded with plenty of space to spread out.
An exposed reef runs along most of the shorebreak, and frequently Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles (Honu) can be seen bobbing just on the other side. If that’s not close enough for you, at least a couple of turtles can be found lazing on shore at the far end of the beach most days (hint: look close to the lookout cliff.) At first most folks don’t even realize they’re there because they look just like the scattered boulders in the same area (presumably one reason they have claimed this area en force.) Typically as sunset approaches, many Honu (and their admirers) will begin popping up in the shorebreak to beach themselves for community sunset rest/admiration.
