The name is literal: two natural lava steps make a staircase into some of the most reliable shore-diving water in Hawaiʻi. The coral here is among the Kona coast's healthiest — cauliflower and lobe corals shingling down the slope — and the residents cycle through all day: yellow tang rivers, parrotfish, turtles heading for the surface in slow spirals, spinner dolphins some mornings out over the sand channel. Depth builds gently, so divers choose their commitment while snorkelers thrive above. Next door stands the Place of Refuge, whose sanctity shapes local expectations: park respectfully, keep voices down, and treat the bay as borrowed.
Momen yang Anda nantikan: Effortless lava-shelf entry; superb shallow coral; turtles and morning dolphins on an unhurried shore dive.
Topografi: Lava shelf giving onto coral slopes and fingers that fall away toward deep water
Entri: Enter off the natural two-step lava shelf beside Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau park; timing the step with the surge is the whole trick.
Ketahui sebelum kamu nyebur
Bahaya: Surge on the entry steps in swell; sharp lava; parking-lot break-ins argue for empty cars.
Konservasi: Reef-safe sunscreen only, no standing on coral, and respect the adjacent sacred site's grounds and closing hours.
