Water Activities: The calm, warm waters are ideal for all levels. You can easily take a surfing lesson (it's the birthplace of modern surfing!), try stand-up paddleboarding, go snorkeling to see colorful fish and even Hawaiian green sea turtles (like at Turtle Canyon), or enjoy a relaxing catamaran cruise (sunset cruises are highly recommended!).
Family-Friendly Shores: Certain sections like Kuhio Beach are protected by seawalls, creating calm, shallow pools perfect for children and new swimmers.
