Hanama’ulu Bay — A Great Place to Film a Movie
Although the waters here tend to be calm because of the protection offered from the walls of the bay the swimming here is not particularly desirable because of the accumulation of silt that is washed down from the stream and flushed into the bay. In addition to that, there is no lifeguard on duty at Hanamaulu Beach.
