This point of interest can be a favorite spot for those looking for adventure. It's safe but a moderate hike down to the blow hole. Don't get within 5 feet of the "hole" as tourists have fallen in and never found. Don't risk it. It's a 40 min drive from Ka'anapali and about an hour from Olivine Pools. Adventure seekers only.

Great snorkeling from the N. side of the bay. There is no beach to speak of but some of the best snorkeling on the W. side. It's about 150 yards out to the good stuff and large swells in winter limit snorkeling but offer good surfing to watch.
