Halona Cove

Fodor's Review:

Also known as "From Here to Eternity Beach" and "Pounders," this little beauty is never crowded due to the short treacherous climb down to the sand. But for the intrepid, what a treat this spot can be. It's in a break in the ocean cliffs, with the surrounding crags providing protection from the wind. Open-ocean waves roll up on the beach (thus the second nickname), but, unlike Sandy's, a gently sloping sand bottom takes much of the punch out of them before they hit the shore. Use caution here: it is mellow inside the cove but dangerous once you get outside of it. Turtles frequent the small cove, seeking respite from the otherwise blustery coast. It's great for packing a lunch and holing up for the day.
