Honomanu Dark Sand Beach
Fresh water from the
Honomanu Stream
enters the ocean at
this bay beach. Due to
the wave action and
rip currents, the area is
not great from
swimming. However,
surfers can frequently
be seen catching the
waves here.
For a good view of
the area, continue
along the Hana
Highway past the
beach road to the
lookout on the
eastern side of the
bay.
Beautiful picture
of the bay just
past the beach
access road.
The dark
sand, clear
water, and the
green
surrondings,
create a
perfect picnic
area.   
DIRECTIONS:
Take Highway 360
toward Hana.
Honomanu Beach is
located just after the
Kaumahina State
Wayside Park. There
are two entrances to
the beach - one at
Mile Marker #13 and
one at Mile Marker
#14.
