About This Beach
Honaunau Bay (Two Step) is a rocky beach renowned for its exceptional snorkeling opportunities, offering vibrant coral reefs and abundant marine life. While lacking in traditional beach amenities like sand and restrooms (only porta-potties are available), its easy water access via natural lava steps and proximity to Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park make it a popular destination. However, the limited parking and frequent crowds can detract from the experience.
