Cockroach Cove

TURTLES TURTLES TUERLTLES TYLRJNSSD TURYELS TURTLES THRLSMSDS !!!
The cave in the back smells like piss, literal piss. The beach is overcrowded and there are too many kids here. It would be a great place, if I could have it all to myself. Also, is this an off-​leash dog park? Some people seem to think so and I’m pretty sure it isn’t. Stop.

Get here early so you can find parking. It’s best to go on a week day to avoid large crowds. The hike down the cliff looks scarier than it actually is, but at least make sure your slippers have decent traction. There are no bathrooms, so be in your swim clothes before you leave the house. There are no shady spots either, so bring a hat if you burn easily and enough sun block to reapply. Always pack water.
The waves can get very choppy and they will suck you in. If you’re not a strong swimmer, stay very close to shore and avoid the wave breaks. Bring a snorkel mask as there’s a nice underwater rocky area for you to fish watch, but only if you can swim.
There’s a place where you can jump off the rocks into the water. Make sure you wait for the wave to come before jumping. Last time I was there, this guy broke his leg because he jumped in before the wave came. People had to help carry him up the cliff with him crying the whole way. Don’t be that guy.
If you want to just stay on the beach, there’s a cave in the rocks that you can go through that leads to the other side of the rocks. Not recommended if you have back or knee problems as you will be crouching through most of the cave, then duck walking towards the exit. Do not go barefoot because stupid people have littered the cave with trash, glass bottles, and piss on the rocks. Either take a flashlight or your use your cell phone’s flashlight app as it’s pitch black with minor obstacles. What beautiful wonders await you on the other side? Weeds, graffiti, and more rocks. It’s the adventure that counts!

Nice relaxing spot. Not crowded like Waikiki Beach. The water is clear and waves are not overbearing. So non swimmers like me also can enjoy the beach. I went on a week day very few people on the beach. The weekend is a different story. Cockroach Cove is located between Sandy and Hanauma. You have to walk down (a mini hike) to get to the beach. The only thing I witnessed are stupid tourist (Older adults) and/​or baby boomer tourist going down the wrong path and had to be rescued by Sandy Beach lifeguards. Ask or follow the path that everyone takes to get to the beach. There are no restrooms, but only a cove that you can change in or be already to go when you arrive.

to get here youll need to find parking right by the blowhole parking lot, which is difficult cause alot of tourist there. took me and my friends 10−15mins to find parking. after theres a little hike youll need to do to get to the cove, not that hard at all but going back up could be. the beach/​cove is small and when its busy, youll have a hard time finding a spot to lay down. though it could be awkward laying down next to a stranger that close to you cause the space is soo small. no showers, bathrooms whatsoever so id suggest you drive to sandys to use them afterwards.

Bleh… touristy…but fishing is alright esp when you hook a tourist in the heal!

Lil Hike down but once you are down there its a nice isolated beach. No facilities like shower, bathroom etc. but I still like it.

it’s also known as «here to eternity beach» it’s where the torid love scene was filmed for the movie
