Aside from the fact that you have to hike just under a mile to get to North Kiholo Bay, once you get to the secluded bay, you won't be dissappointed. The snorkeling here would rate as good, but not the best. However, the beautiful surroundings in the bay make up for the average snorkeling. North Kiholo Bay is a great spot for beginners because of the shallow, calm waters and easy entry right from the sandy beach. North Kiholo is generally uncrowded.

Facilities at North Kiholo Bay:

• Picnic tables
• Portapotties at the beach just to the south

 On Highway 19, park at mile marker 81, just off the shoulder on the gravel road. Start heading toward the water and you will see a path  to your left that heads down to the ocean. About a 1/2 mile in, you will see the first gate. The second gate is another 1/4 mile after that. Go around the gate, and in another 200 yards you will be to the ocean. You will pass an empty house and a water tan on your way.
