A short hike around boulders will bring you down to the beach which is clothing optional. It is a bit more bohemian on Sundays so perhaps less appropriate for younger family members. The surf tends to be rough, so take proper precautions.

A great place to snorkel and see fish and turtles. Remember not to touch wildlife. We have found the best snorkeling to be in front of the lifeguard tower, but explore on you own as the whole place is wonderful.

A nice place to stop by and snorkel. There are stairs and a handrail that aids with entry into the water and lots of rock outcroppings to observe fish, the occasional eel and green turtles. There are two fresh water inlets here so expect the water to be a bit chilly.

The actual Isaac Hale Park was destroyed by the last lava flows, BUT immediately adjacent is our newest black sand beach. The sand is coarse and the surf may be rough. A good beach for surfers and strong swimmers. There are several natural hot pools in the immediate area some of which may require brief search and short trip into the jungle,
