A wild sand-and-rock beach beside Lono Harbor, named for an old heiau to Lono, god of agriculture and fertility.

Practical

No lifeguards, restrooms or showers (to-hawaii.com). Rocky bottom makes swimming and snorkeling poor; fishing is good; whales are often seen December to April. Reached overland by a rough dirt road from Maunaloa.
