One of the most magical places on earth. This is not the first time that it has been called that.

Lava and gravel are more of the mix here creating a fairly non sandy shoreline. With sea turtles eating limu and seagrass this place is a fairy tale haven for them.

The water temperature can be a bit warmer here due to the change from the springs water colluding with the ocean. This is what creates that aqua green and blue distinct look that everyone uses on their computer screen savers. This location should be in a movie. The best of the best in all of the Polynesian Pacific and Hawaii alike. Offered for public to access through mile markers 82 and 83 you can find it by heading down highway 11 otherwise know as Queen Kaahumanu Highway.On the north side end of Kiholo Bay is where visitors begin to notice the change in color of the water.
