Fodor's Review:
Don't pack the beach umbrella, beach mats, and cooler for this one. Just your snorkel gear. The beach, named after its neighbor the Beach House restaurant and on the road to Spouting Horn, is a small slip of sand during low tide and a rocky shoreline during high; however, it is conveniently located by the road's edge, and its rocky coastline and somewhat rocky bottom make it great for snorkeling. (As a rule, sandy-bottom beaches are not great for snorkeling. The rocks create safe hiding places and grow the food that fish and other marine life like to eat.) A sidewalk along the coastline on the restaurant side of the beach makes a great vantage point from which to peer into the water and look for the Hawaiian green sea turtle. It's also a gathering spot to watch the sun set. Make reservations for dinner at the Beach House days in advance and time it around the sunset.
