Waikōloa Anchialine Pond Preservation Area 69-1033 Naupaka Kai Place, Waikoloa Village, HI 96738

"This is a special place to watch a sunset if you're staying in Waikoloa. There's a nice walk to the beach thru an ancient fish pond. Lots of spoiled feral cats too, I heard they have their own Instagram page."

"If you are looking to see Nene this is the perfect place to find some, but please give them respect and distance. Beautiful area and plenty of parking. The trail to the beach can flood during high tide, but just wade through. This beach is more of a walking area than for a swim."

"Very glad i stumbled on a facebook post about this place. Its absolutely beautiful and worth the 1 hour drive from Keauhou."

"Great walk to the public beach right next to the Hilton. We saw lots of Nene feeding near the ponds and it was a nice walk to the beach. A little rocky, but enough spots on the coral sand. Very few people when we visited."

"Absolutely beautiful location. Great for a quiet walk or relax and sit under the trees. Stumbled upon a sea turtle basking in the sun. The small pools are full of fish that are fun to watch. There are Nene geese in the area also. Highly recommend if you're looking for a short easy hike with beautiful views."
