Hamoa Beach
Hamoa Beach Review
Why did James Michener describe this stretch of salt-and-pepper sand as the most "South Pacific" beach he'd come across, even though it's in the North Pacific? Maybe it was the perfect half-moon shape, speckled with the shade of palm trees. Perhaps he was intrigued by the jutting black coastline, often outlined by rain showers out at sea, or the pervasive lack of hurry he felt once settled in here. Whatever it was, many still feel the lure. The beach can be crowded but nonetheless relaxing. Expect to see a few chaise lounges and a guest-only picnic area set up by the Travaasa Hotel Hana. Early mornings and late afternoons are best for swimming. At times, the churning surf might intimidate beginning swimmers, but body surfing can be great here. Hamoa is half a mile past Koki Beach on Haneoo Loop Road., 2 miles south of Hana town. Amenities: showers; toilets. Best for: surfing; swimming.
