Turtle Bay Resort has almost five miles of beachfront that includes the beauty of Kawela Bay, Bay View Beach Lawn and of course Turtle Bay. Only 45 minutes from the high pulse and energy of Honolulu. This is a most beautifull luxury hotel in Hawaii.
This beach is noted for its excellent swimming, surfing, and body boarding. There are also lovely shaded picnic facilities and grassy areas perfect for family outings.
The lovely sand beach of this bay slowly dips into the ocean as the Kualau Mountains dramatically rise in the background. This quiet beach cove is the perfect place to swim, bodyboard, fish, hike and picnic. Tall beach pines surround the outskirts of the beach providing shade and serenity to this tropical paradise.
The "Long Ancestral Background", this beach park is never crowded, making this the perfect site to just enjoy a relaxing day at the beach. The water is calm and warm. The location is stunningly beautiful with the Kualoa Mountains in the background. This area was considered sacred by the ancient Hawaiians as whalebones used to wash up on the beach. The bones were then made into valuable tools and jewelry. 
Like the name show you, some white tipped reef sharks call this cove home. Sharks are generally not aggressive so DO NOT approach or molest them. Turtles are frequently seen in this cove. This is a wonderful beach for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving during the months of March through October when the seas are calm. There are no lifeguards. 
The area is great for swimming and snorkeling. There is also wonderful tide pools great for collecting shells and observing the wonders of nature. During the Winter months this beach is one of the best for surfing with waves often between fifteen and twenty feet high making it perfect for yearly international surfing competitions. 
Scuba diving, snorkeling and wading in the numerous tidepools makes this a very crowded and popular area. Lava tubes, ledges, and sea arches can be found just outside of the reef area.
This is the home of the largest, most dangerous and spectacular surf in the world. Do not enter when the swells are large as the water is fast and deadly. There is a strong riptide current running out at the center of the bay. Obey all postings and warnings.
