About this site
Honokohau Bay sits on the Kona coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, north of Kailua-Kona near the Kaloko-Honokohau area, where lava rock shoreline meets deep offshore water typical of the island's leeward side. It is rated a beginner site, making it accessible for divers with less experience.
