Fodor's Review:

This network of tide pools at the end of Kapoho-Kai Road is great for a swim or a snorkel, or even just a beautiful view of new coastline. Some of the pools are volcanically heated, so if your back's a little sore from exploring the island, stop for a 10-minute soak and you'll feel better immediately. Take the road to the end, turn left, and park. Some of the pools are on private property, but those closest to the ocean, Waiopae (ponds), are open to all.

This is one of the most amazing places I have ever seen and snorkeled in my life. Gorgeous pools of water full of fish. I can't wait to go back someday!
