Property is a beach front property. The complex is oceanfront. It is about a ten minute walk to the Kahaluu Beach Park. This is an extremely popular spot to surf, and to snorkle, as it is frequented by turtles (you don't even need to be in the water to see them, as they often rest on the sand at dusk) and has sheltered access for novice snorkelers. You can rent snorkeling equipment right at the beach. A further 10 minute walk will take you to White Sands beach (a.k.a Magic Sands...as every year around March and April, the sands are stripped away by heavy seas and currents, exposing rough coral and making the area rugged for swimming. People still come here during those months because it is a good vantage point for observing migrating humpback whales.) A large sandy beach can be found at Hapuna State Park, a 55 minute drive north on Hwy 19. It is almost 700 yards long. During good weather the swimming is good and life guards are on duty. Walking distance to Kahaluu Beach Park which is great for swimming, snorkeling or just sitting under a palm tree with that book you have been wanting to read. Swim with the Sea Turtles most of the year.
