Kapoho Tide Pools at a Glance

In the vast expanse of Hawaiian beaches, you sometimes come across little tide pools where the water is calmer, shallower and safer. Often, you’ll have to go on long hikes to find what they call nature’s swimming pools. But in a mile-long beach just off the village of Kapoho, tide pools are scattered from the shores all the way to the ocean itself.

What makes the Kapoho Tide Pools different is not their sheer number, but the volcanically heated waters that run through some of them. In the late afternoon, a dip in one of these natural hot tubs is the perfect way to wind down. A number of locals have integrated pools into their homes, so just make sure you don’t go dipping in private property!

The calm waters also attract divers and snorkelers looking for some underwater scenery. While there’s more to see in other beaches such as the Kahaluu, theirs is enough interesting wildlife in Kapoho to make it worth the dive. The best time to dive is in broad daylight, when you can see your tracks and avoid the sharp lava stones on the way. Wearing beach shoes or water booties can help protect your feet.

The largest tide pool can be found in the nearby Ahalanui, a free-admission park. On some days, it’s also one of the hottest—the water has been known to reach a good 90 degrees! You’ll also get to swim among native fishes and get nice views of the ocean from the rims.

Safety Tip
Whatever beach in Hawaii you visit, please have in mind that the ocean can be very dangerous. Never turn your back against the waves and watch out for underwater currents and always check the surf conditions. Pay attention to signs posted on the beach. If you are not sure about the conditions, ask the lifeguards (if any on the beach). Please click here to read more about ocean safety in Hawaii.
