This picturesque tan beach sits at the base of red cliffs with views toward tiny ʻAlau Island. Bodysurfing is excellent here, as it's shallow for quite a distance, but a rip current has been known to sweep people out to sea if they go too far. Shell picking is good at the tide pools along the edge.
