OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
During the
summer months, be sure to stop by these
beautiful coastal tide pools on the Mokolea
peninsula. This area is best accessed during
the calmer summer months and at low tide so
you have the benefit of seeing the pools not
being pounded by high surf.
Along the hike, you will see wonderful tide
pools, filled with fish and sea creatures.
Old discarded parts from the sugar mill
industry have been dumped in this area and
are now a part of the landscape. During low
surf, you will see a series of wonderful
lava pools. Some are even large enough to
swim in if you feel like it after your hike
to the area. At the end of the trail, the
water crashes dramatically into a trench in
the sea cliff that is well worth a photo or
two. Be careful not to get too close as the
rocks can be slippery and some of the waves
will create a bigger spray than you might
have anticipated. |

down to Kilauea Bay and park at the end of
the road. Walk across through the stream and
head down the right side of the beach for ½
mile hike. |
