Entertainment & Activities
Just when you thought it couldn't get any better.
Surfing, sunning, snorkeling, swimming, socializing. Right across the street to one of the nicest beaches on the Island that offers every amenity you could want. Three sets of waves for three degrees of surfer. Snorkeling that will blow your mind, with a variety of fish and sea life that is at your fingertips. Not just tropical fish, but sea turtles as well as a resident monk seal and an occasional view of dolphin and migrate whale off the shore. Start the day with an early morning jog or walk to a wonderful sunset in the east that rises up from the mountains with a breath taking sunset in the evening to the finale of a incredible dark sky night where the stars illuminate the crystal clear water. Restrooms, water fountain, adult and children beverages and oh yeah...shave ice. Aloha!
