Hike from Turtle Bay to Kawela Bay

Once you get to the Turtle Bay resort, you just follow the signs to Kawela Bay/ the Stables. From there the signs are super easy to follow, with options ranging from 0.5mi to 3.0mi. and you can do this as a simple out-and-back or as a longer loop that takes you through Banyan forests, beaches and eventually Kawela Bay itself. It's not a technical hike by any means, just a series of casual path(s) that you can "choose your own adventure" on and wind up on an amazing beach.

You could potentially see turtles, whales, mongoose, and birds (of all kinds). The trail itself is a combination of sand, dirt, tree roots, and grass, so it can get a tad challenging at times. There is an old war bunker on the point that can be a reprieve from the sun, but it's not the nicest inside, so there's that. Besides Kawela, there are a few "beaches" that you can stop at to take a dip, relax, bring a picnic and stretch out. 

Come back the way you came or make it one big loop. Stop off at Lei Lei's or the Kuhuku Superette (going north) or Pupukea Grill (going south).
