Honomalino Beach

"This was an awesome beach. Quiet and off the beaten path. Some decent snorkeling and we saw dolphins playing further out. You do need to go through a fairly poor neighborhood to get there. We walked in and out, but saw folks parking just outside Miloii Beach Park. The trek past Miloii isn't hard but has lots of low trees and cactus. If you go early grab a stick to knock down the spider webs."

"The view that we had there was amazing. You need to hike around 20-30min through the woods, and also step into the water at some point, but it s worth it. We were alone there and could enjoy the sunset properly."

"Really enjoyed this beach. Not many people. Have to hike about 20 mins from the beach park through some beach/water, over lava rock and under trees and such(Sneakers til the beach is a good idea). Good place to swim. Definitely worth the hike."

"Park at the Miloli'i beach park and look for the black and white trailhead sign across from the little church. Trail traverses some keawe groves (branches with LONG, sharp thorns), so wear thick-soled footwear. Beach is lovely, waves are strong. Good chance you'll only see one or two other groups on the whole beach, and you may just have the whole place to yourself."

"Beautiful beach in a small cove with clear water that is wonderful for swimming and snorkeling. Once you get there, it is picture perfect. The locals are mostly unfriendly and very territorial, posting numerous signs to ward off travelers. The path to the beach, starting by a small church and an outdoor basketball court, took us about 30 minutes. It is an obstacle course. The locals have set up their properties in a way that forces you to walk through tide pools along rocky terrain, so you may get wet on the hike. Some of the walk can be a challenge to less sure footed hikers. Take good footwear; I'd recommend both hiking boots and water shoes. Also, there is no commerce for miles, so bring your own water and something to eat (and take your rubbish with you when you leave). I would not recommend staying past sunset, but if you do, bring a flashlight. Worth it if you're feeling a little adventurous, but the neighborhood is not welcoming."
