Honaunau Bay (Two Step) (Snorkeling)
This famous snorkeling spot at Honaunau bay is called Paeʻa, and is also known as “Two Step”.
Honaunau Bay is often referred to as the “City of Refuge”, after the Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historic Park (also know as – you guessed it – the City of Refuge). A big reason for this is that due to a very advantageous layout of the bay, the water is almost always calm and the waters have exceptional visibility most of the year.
The waters are usually clear and the average depth is about 20 feet. Often you can see pods of dolphins swimming close to shore. It is at the end of a finger of lava and easy to find because you will see lots of people getting in and out of the water.
