While in Hawaii you will not want to miss catching a glimpse of a Hawaiian Green Turtle, or Honu, as they are known on the islands.
There are a few beaches where it is highly likely to see them either sunning on the sand or swimming very near the shoreline.
1. Anaeho'omalu Beach Park, aka A Bay. This beach is located just across the street from Big Island Motorcycle Co., right in front of the Marriott hotel.
2. Honokohau State Park, aka Turtle Beach. Inside the Honokohau Harbor, about 3 miles south of the Kona airport. Once you make the turn into the harbor, stay to the right. Pass the boat launch and park near the sailing club. Follow the trail to the beach.
3. Ka'upulehu Beach, aka Four Seasons Resort. Turn into the Hualalai Four Seasons Resort about 8 miles north of the airport. Ask the guard for a beach pass (free). Follow the signs to the beach on the southern end of the resort, which is really in front of Kukio Resort.
Remember!!! Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles are an endangered species. You must stay at least 20 feet away from the turtles while viewing them, no exceptions. It is the law, please respect the turtles.
Need beach gear like snorkeling equipment, chairs, umbrellas, or boogie boards? We gotcha covered!
