Area Tips

Pawai Bay, also known as Old Kona Airport Beach, can be a bit challenging for beginners. Entry can be quite difficult with slippery rocks and spikey sea urchins wich are abundant here. Be sure to only enter when conditions are safe and calm. Coral is sparse near the shore, but you can snorkel to the right and around the point where there is a rocky ledge to explore.
