Between mile markers 13 and 14 on the Hana Highway you will have a chance to visit Honomanu Bay. There are two roads that lead to the beach. The first is about a half-mile beyond the 13 mile marker-but this dirt road brings you out on the wrong side of the beach (the stream will cut you off from the remainder of the shoreline). The other access road is available just beyond the 14 mile marker. This route is much muddier, steeper, and 4x4 may be required at times so you might have to walk to the beach instead. Taking your car off-road is a violation of your rental agreement anyway.
Hanauma Bay, central among the Koko Rift triplet, is the remnant of a cone thatâs low-lying seaward rim was eventually breached by waves, flooding the crater and creating a deeply indented bay. Hanauma Bay is backed by a wide calcareous beach and surrounded by the high near-vertical cinder walls of the cone.âahu is the most densely populated Hawaiian island, home to almost 900,000 of the total 1,200,000 residents in the State. The combination of a dense population, government, and an industry dedicated to tourism, results in heavy use of the islands shorelines.
