Hanauma Bay is a marine preserve beach and the fish know it too! This is where you can see fish that would otherwise be targeted by spearfishermen and fishermen alike swimming right next to you.

This beach is a close kept secret among locals. Definetly alot less crowded and is always full with TURTLES! Skip Lani's down the road (full with tour buses, no parking, and crowds) come down the private road and park at the dirt lot at the end. Take the beach access and go to the left a bit for a shallow area where turtles congregate.
See that thin green seaweed that grows on the rocks by the water? Scrape and pick some off to feed the turtles a snack!

Be careful not to go down the private road at the end. This beach is secluded and you can find a private spot to relax. Great beach for children and small kids since there is no wave activity.
