Situated in a very protected cove, this cove is virtually a large swimming pool. Fair snorkeling, as visibility is frequently not the best. Beach is backed by development and there is a fair amount of rocky bottom in the cove.

  1. A large swimming pool*
    *with reef coming right up to the waterline. We brought our beach chairs and snorkeling stuff down here planning to stay a while, not realizing the rocks come right up to the shore. After a bit of snorkeling (which is GREAT here), we walked the short distance over to Napili Bay for a nice sandy-bottom beach (with some more murky snorkeling).
