To escape the throngs of tourists and enjoy a little bit of ancient Hawaii all at once – make your way to Miloli’i Beach. It once served as a fishing village for native Hawaiians, but was mostly destroyed by a volcano in the 1920s. Visit today and imagine what it might have been like!
Though you won’t find a bustling fishing hub these days, locals have rebuilt some of the village. There are lots of children and dogs in the area, so take care while driving through, but once you reach the beach you’ll enjoy the reward of a secluded beach. Divers have long loved this location for it’s beautiful coral formations, crystal waters and general splendor.
There is a general store near the beach, stop in or pack a lunch and hang out in the picnic area or start up a game on the volleyball or basketball courts. It’s pretty isolated and will most definitely meet your requirements for a taste of the real Hawaii.
