Halona Beach Cove

This place is beautiful. We came to see the blowhole and noticed this cove down below the viewing area. Surprisingly it was not crowded. We climbed down to it and really enjoyed it. Be careful the waves were pretty strong on the day we went.

Halona Beach Cove is a secret slice of paradise tucked between lava rock cliffs and turquoise waves. The golden sand, dramatic shoreline, and cinematic vibes make it unforgettable. Perfect for a scenic escape, photo ops, and soaking up Hawaiian beauty. A little adventure with a big reward. 😎

So beautiful and stunning views!!! Car ride there isn’t for beginners but so amazing.

The view is stunning. The blue of the sea is gorgeous and I couldn't wait to get in. There is a sign saying it is dangerous and a restricted area but people were happy to risk their lives climbing down the rocks to get to it. So worth it! There's a cave at the back too, very instagramable. The water was crazy, the waves were crashing. The cliff side was beautiful, seeing the layers of rock. We went a couple of times. It did get busy at one point.

Pretty little cove beach. The waves are a little stronger here, but ok for good swimmers. Some fish and coral can be seen snorkeling. Has a little cave/tunnel nearby. Parking lot get full fast but found a spot fairly quickly. Going down from the parking is via rocky and steep hill so take your time.

A beautiful stop, a little difficult to get down to it from the road. If you can make it down, its a great spot, it was awesome to be able to swim in a spot like this.

Of all the beaches we frequented around Oahu, Halona Cove was by far the most fun and exciting. We spotted the cove while driving along the highway and decided to make the trek down from the scenic lookout. While the beach itself is limited in space, it more than made up for in huge, crashing waves. The waves are quite strong by the beach, and get larger and more violent as you swim further out into the cove. I swam close to the mouth of the cove and experienced massive waves from all sides (Note: it can be quite dangerous to swim outwards and not recommended for safety reasons). A little out of the way, but definitely worth the little detour.

The water of this place and the energy… It just feels like magical! BUT please use water shoes… rocks can be very slippery! Believe me and Enjoy this beautiful place! Aloha!!
