In the mornings the dolphins play a little ways from the shore. This is a long beach, and on the weekends the gate is open where you can drive in, little off-roading, but you should be fine.

This spot use to be covered with bush and keawe trees until more recently. Drive JUST pass the parking lot and go off roading a little to park just off the beach. This surf break is great for the experienced bodyboarder as the waves do barrel on the right swell. This is a nice secluded stretch of beach. No lifeguard and no freshwater shower here.

Giant cave, short walk, be careful crossing the street. This is considered by some of the Hawaiians here in this area as the birthplace of their ancestors. This place looked much different back then. The mountain went across the road and at the top there was a small cave entrance that you would have to crawl down into, that eventually opened up to what you see today. When they built the road and excavated the mountain it exposed this cavern.
