Beautiful light blue water in a sheltered bay with usually manageable shorebreak. It's a popular spot these days, but weekday mornings are less crowded. Wear sunscreen here–one thing you are certain to see at Kua Bay is a seriously sunburnt person. Don't let it be you!

Awesome snorkeling destination with a lot of history in the area. Getting into the water can be hard when the tide is high and the rocks get slippery, so avoid walking with fins on. It's an upbeat, friendly atmosphere—lots of families and kids.

They have star/galaxy tours here for free with a laser light after dark–in addition to a gift shop full of unique and intriguing items. Many astrologists bring or store their large, high-power telescopes at this center and love to chat with visitors and offer to show them planets, stars, etc. through their telescopes. Mauna Kea is one of the top stargazing destinations in the world and holds the planet's most powerful telescope at its summit. The altitude gets chilly at night, so bring a sweatshirt/jacket and long pants!
