Grab your gear and come join us for a fun day of swimming or snorkeling at Mahukona Beach Park; followed by pot luck lunch.
We plan to meet up with the scuba dive group for the potluck lunch. We will bring some sandwich’s and snacks and suggest others also to bring a potluck dish. Alcohol is allowed at Mahukona so it’s a BYOB event if you want drinks.
No Dogs Allowed At The Park*
Mahukona Beach Park is on the site of an old sugar company property on the northwest shore of the Big Island. It’s a popular place for swimming as the harbor is usually protected from wind and waves.
Some of the old sugar mill buildings still remain, including one near the shore that says “Hawaii Railway Co. LTD 1930” on the facade. Adjacent to the parking lot there’s a large concrete dock with a rusting crane and other concrete structures. A ladder is provided on the dock for those that go swimming and snorkeling in the harbor. Scuba diving from the protected harbor entrance is common too. Use caution when walking or climbing around on the old structures as they have sharp rusty parts and can be slippery too.
