OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
This unusually
large collection of tide pools and spring
fed pools stretches almost a mile down the
coast and extend up to 200 yards out into
the ocean.
However, the feature that makes this site
most interesting is the fact that some of
the pools are heated -- volcanically
heated! Many locals have incorporated some
of the smaller pools into their property to
use as swimming pools and "hot" tubs. The
warm, brackish water is usually very calm,
relaxing, and rarely crowded.
A wide variety of fish are also attracted to
the area so snorkeling is easy and
fascinating. |

Highway 130 south from Pahoa. When it dead
ends at Highway 137, turn right. Just before
Mile Marker #9, turn left on Kapoho Kai
Road. Take the next left on Kaheka and then

mile along the coast. |
