La Perouse Bay
Snorkel
Still within the Ahi Hi -Kina'u Marine Preserve this area is mostly sharp lava rock and a tricky entry. There is a shelf that makes entry a little easier and watch out for the sharp urchins. Go to the right and around the first point. Continue along the shore and you will find a series of coves each one better than the last. Stay close in to avoid the current in deeper water. This area is recommended for stronger swimmers. You may see dolphins here.
Scuba
Still within the Ahihi-Kina'u Marine Preserve this area is mostly sharp lava rock and a tricky entry. There is a shelf that makes entry a little easier but watch out for the sharp urchins. Go to the right and around the first point. Continue along the shore and you will find a series of coves each one better than the last. A second dive is out in the deeper water of the bay. Further out is more coral and more interesting relief, especially from 30 to 50 feet.
This bay is located at the end of Makena Alanui Road, you can't miss it.
This is a familiar sight to those who travel to Big Beach down to La Perouse Bay. There is almost always a line - the wait is well worth it, most people can't wait to munch out and sit in the chairs provided to polish off these treats!
