    The waves are very gentle, the water is crystal clear and there is plenty of shade. There is excellent snorkeling and it is a fantastic place for paddle boarding.

    There are about nine public beach accesses along Puako Beach Drive. Park on the road and walk to the ocean to see amazing water, tide pools and turtles (honu).

    Walking, biking, running, crawling...up and down Puako Beach drive... Hard to find a lovelier place to move around outdoors...

    There are no street lights in Puako. If its full moon, no problem, but otherwise you'll need a flashlight to walk after dark.
