Haena Beach (Shipman Beach to many locals) Down a path starting at the back of the property. This is a 75 min hike and is well worth the effort as the beach is remote, easy to swim at, and is often enjoyed by sea turtles and seals. Be prepared for your feet to get muddy on the hike. Tennis shoes or sandals that strap around the heel are the best choices for footwear. Bring snacks, water and leave long before dark as the trail often runs under the jungle canopy making travel at night impossible without flashlights. Swimming is excellent at this location. Be careful to give the turtles their space and be aware hide tides or extreme weather can make swimming hazardous. This is a remote location with no lifeguard. We love this beach and it is usually safe to swim even for kids. Though surrounded by privately held land, the Old Puna Trail is part of the statewide public Na Ala Hele Trail and Access System. It offers glimpses of one of the most remote coasts of the big island of Hawaii, an experience that feels increasingly rare. An ancient path carved into the rain forest by some of Hawaii’s earliest inhabitants leads to Haena Beach (Shipman Beach to many locals) and has long been a favorite destination for its seclusion, sheltered water, and fine white and black sand. Expect to see old Hawaiin rock walls on the way and to share the beach with turtles or seals when you get there.

So many Turtles! Its about a 2 mile walk/hike. There are old military bunkers along the way. The sunbathing Turtles look like rocks in the water. Look closer, but no touch!
Shipman’s Beach- to the locals. It’s a local secret favorite hike🤫. Hiked this many times. It’s a sweet little spot. No bathrooms! Warning: Lock your cars and hide your valuables.
A 2.5 mile hike (easy/moderate depending on your experience) through the rainforest to a secluded beach. Take some food/drink, and go spend the day.
Have you ever dove underwater and seen the sun dance onto monochromatic grey/blue sand, all fed by very cool spring waters that mix with the ocean in a small private bay that is home to a butt ton of sea turtles? RIGHT!! Yeah, if your lucky and look out from your front window in the morning and see blue sky toward the horizon, this is a sign! Grab some water and a snack and drive down immediately (take a right out of the driveway, left on Kaloli, when it comes to a dead end make a left, park at the end) and when you get to the parking area follow the well marked path. It's about an hour flat hike till you get to the beach. If it has rained the day before be prepared for some mud. You can avoid the mud by taking mini parallel routes along the main one but don't venture too far off the main route. Just a heads up, local people don't like it if you get too close or harass the sea life (i.e. seals, turtles, etc) we have an ancient belief in our native custom where we believe that after death we can come back as animals to guide and help our offspring. This is called 'Aumakua. So you never know whose great grand father you might be trying to take a selfie with. haha If you are curious about this you can ask me and I'll explain further. A tip for any place you go in Hawai'i, always enter a space with ahonui (respect) and Aloha (love). We native peoples (kanaka maoli) hold our lands as sacred, for it feeds us and houses the bones of our ancestors. If you enter in a way that is not appropriate you can insight an abrasive response, and no one wants to experience that. Be safe out there, learn and have fun. Round trip 5 miles.
