Easy to access from the house, with free parking. It is great for kids because it is small and there are no waves due to the large reef surrounding it. Small store right off of the beach to grab food and drinks. Set up camp here all day!

여행 팁
여행 전에 기억할 점
We offer the use of a 2019 Toyota Sienna Van with rental!
To get to our home from the airport, you can use Uber, or there is a service we love called Aloha Airport Shuttle (808) 538-3355). You can contact them before your flight and give them your flight info and they will be waiting for you when you leave baggage claim. They are incredibly reliable, and I have used them for over a decade. Their cost is the same as any other service, and they usually utilize vans so they can transport larger groups. Their email: info@alohaairportshuttle.com.

Speeding
Hawaii has low speed limits on the freeways. The highest is 55- so make sure to check your speed so you don’t get a ticket!
교통편
Pedestrians
In Hawaii, pedestrians alway have the right of way crossing in cross walks- and there are multiple random crosswalks (not just at stop lights)- so just make sure to look for pedestrians when you come to one of the random crosswalks.
