The Halona Beach Cove That Few Know About
This secret Oahu beach is more commonly known as Eternity Beach for an infamous beach scene in a romantic 1950’s Hollywood movie. Despite its unmarked and not-so-easy-to-get-to location, thousands of visitors manage to visit it each year. You’ll most likely discover this Oahu beach when visiting the south side Halona Blowhole, which is not too far from Hanauma Bay and Sandy Beach.
Halona Beach Cove
Halona Beach Cove sits below the famous Halona blowhole, and is sometimes referred to as Oahu Secret Beach because you cannot see if from the road when driving past. While most visitors view and take pictures of the Halona Beach Cove from above, some follow the hiking trail down to the beach to get a better view and explore the unique cove. It is amazing to know that fishermen, since the 1920s and until today, climb down to this rocky point called Bamboo Ridge, and fish into the night.
Although Eternity Beach could very well be the main attraction on its own, the famous Halona Blow Hole is what most tourists come to experience from the viewing deck above it. So before hiking down to the beach, make sure to catch the Halona Blowhole in action before you descend.
On good days with high surf in the area, you are bound to witness the powerful blowhole shoot water 20 feet and higher into the air for a spectacular show.
An afterthought
The Halona Beach Cove may be small but it comes with plenty of charm in its own setting. You have a rocky shelf on the left-hand side that extends out into the ocean. Look back up the cliff towards the view deck on the left, and you’ll most likely see Halona Blowhole visitors observing all the Eternity Beach activity from the lookout above.
