Mokule'ia Bay is southwest of, and adjacent to, Honolua Bay - 5 miles North of Kapalua. The beach at Mokule'ia, known locally as Slaughterhouse (because there once was a slaughterhouse on the cliffs above) is accessible along a steep trail down the cliffs. Parking is found only along the highway. The bottom at Mokule'ia Bay is mostly sand. At the right point are large submerged boulders, and fingers of lava occur along the left point. Both points offer good coral growth. Depths range from about ten to fifty feet. Waters should be avoided during winter months, when high surf is common. Use caution going down.

Snorkel/Scuba services bring clients, for a fee, to the same place that we stumbled upon by just driving along the coast.
