Honolua Bay, HI runs roughly 5 to 25 feet deep in the area people use.
Summer, roughly May to September, when the bay is calm and clear. Guides report visibility near 50 ft on a good day.
A small free dirt lot and legal shoulder near mile marker 32 on Highway 30, full before 9am. Leave nothing in the car.
