Put-in is at a beach park. Before you go, check for the closing time for the opening and closing time of the park gate. Fresh water, restrooms, showers and picnic areas are available here. No camping is allowed. As you leave the deep bay, be on alert for the many rocks and coral heads that will keep you busy. This is a short paddle down the coast to Pueo Bay. Pueo was formed by a lava flow from Mauna Loa, 30 miles away. Black lava and white coral pebbles make up the steep beach. The surf landing can be tough. A short trail inland leads to the Golden Pools.
