This beach is lesser known and less crowded than others. The closest facilities are a short drive North to Polo Beach. It is a wide beach to the south of the Kea Lani Resort. The beach has reef formations at both ends. Swimming is good and snorkelling around the rocky point is excellent most of the time. This site is perfect for beginners and intermediates. This site has a very sandy bottom and gently slopes. It has a very easy sandy beach entry. Holoa Point is a point of land at the south end of the beach. There is a section of reef that extends for several hundred meters, both out to sea and further down the shoreline. Near the point you will find a very interesting underwater topography with small caves and ledges. Lava arches rear up from sand channels between the rocks and coral. It is easy to navigate here as you just follow the reef out that comes off the rocky point on the right side of the beach. Directions: At the South End of Highway 31, bear right onto Wailea Iki. Continue to the T, turn left on Wailea Alanui. After 1 mile, turn right onto Kuakahi. Drive down to the T and turn left onto Makena Road. Continue for a little less than half a mile. Park on shore side of the road onto an unpaved small parking area. Basically, this is the South side of Haloa Point.
