Kapa'a Beach Park

Best snorkeling!!! Water is so clear. It was calm in the cove, though I read that there can be a current farther out. Tons and tons of fish by the rocks near the shore. The facilities aren't anything to recommend, but don't miss the snorkeling here if it's calm.

Whales and nice campervan camping spot. Facilities are barely acceptable but the rest of this small park is fantastic.

We saw 3 whales swimming out in front of this park. Camping by permit. Shelter with picnic benches and two toilets. One official BBQ pit with a few other BBQ pits made out of lava rock down the trail to some flat land where you could pitch a tent to camp with a permit. Great camping area if you like a more isolated situation. No official campsites, just space you have to find, watch out for barbed wire fences.

Great spot for snorkeling. Wasn't crowded. Very peaceful. Lots of Yellow Tang.
