Halona Beach Cove at a Glance
Halona Beach Cove is a small and romantic beach located
on the south shore of Oahu. It became popular in the movie
From here to Eternity, filmed here in 1953, where it was
a love scene of a couple. Because of the movie, the beach
was nicknamed Eternity Beach.
The beach is on the right side of the Halona Blowhole Overlook.
You have to hike down the rocks from there in order to
get to it. Be careful and always wear shoes because the
rocks are slippery, steep and sharp.
The best time to swim in this small cove is when the
water is calm. However, don’t go close to the blowhole
and don’t swim too far from the shore because strong,
dangerous currents are often times present.
Since there are no lifeguards stationed here, it
is not recommended to get into the water if the surf is
high. Also, stay away from rocky areas.
There are no facilities at Halona Beach Cove. Free parking
is available at the Halona Blowhole Overlook.
