Hookena beach is a salt and pepper beach - I think there's still some of it in the kids bathing suits! We boogie boarded and snorkeled there. There were quite a few locals. Their spring break had started and they were well into it by the time we got to this beach. It's pretty big, so not too hard to find a place for your bamboo rolls & gear. I think this is one of the kids favorite beaches. Out away from the shore the snorkeling is pretty good. JB went out quite aways.
Then we went to Puuhonua o Honaunau (city of refuge NP) but to the side of the park is a great lava rock beach with great snorkeling. The water is clear, if not a bit cold. The coral is abundant and very colorful and there were turtles, Honu to watch and swim with. I could see them much better here because the water was not as murkey as Punaluu, the black sand beach. Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures here. I am not sure why not, but maybe because we were too busy snorkeling. It was a good day.
We stayed at the Manago this night. Kids were ready for the pancakes that are bigger then their heads the next day!
