the bay, enter via the rocky coastline. Do not use the concrete boat ramp, which is very
slippery and potentially hazardous.
When the waters are calm the bays offer superb kayaking. Slaughterhouse Beach is
also a top-rated bodysurfing spot during the summer. Its attractive white-sand crescent is
good for sunbathing and beachcombing - look for glittering green olivine crystals in the
rocks at the south end of the beach.
Just north of mile marker 32, there's public parking and a concrete stairway leading
down the cliffs to Slaughterhouse Beach. A half-mile past mile marker 32 there's room
for about six cars to park adjacent to the path down to Honolua Bay.
