One of the best beaches in the area, and a short 5-10 minute walk from Absolute Paradise. There are often sea turtles, and spinner dolphins also frequently visit. Sundays are usually quite busy. It is a clothing optional beach, so be prepared if you are bringing kids. The trail is a bit steep to access it, so I would recommend going while there is plenty of light to see, and having your hands free to support yourself on the trail.

One of the most surreal places I have been. There is a beautiful restuarant and lodge perched on the side of the Kilauea volcano. The views are amazing in the evening at night, as the entire volcano is glowing.
