Alula Beach, located at the entrance to Honokohau Harbor on the Big Island of Hawaii, is a secluded cove with a small white-sand beach surrounded by black lava rock. It offers excellent snorkeling conditions during calm waters and serves as a popular take-off point for offshore divers and snorkelers. The beach is part of the Kalolo-Honokohau National Historic Park, where visitors can explore ancient Hawaiian temples and stone houses before settling on the beach.
With its protected cove, Alula Beach is a great spot for swimming and snorkeling, offering a natural shelter created by dark rock walls that plunge 45 feet into the water. The beach also provides some shade and can be accessed by climbing over lava rocks. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of this hidden gem while immersing themselves in Hawaiian culture and history at the nearby national park.
