beach lined with swaying palm trees, a gorgeous reef system containing

Hanauma Bay is like swimming in an aquarium and is
perfect for most ages and fitness levels. The clear, calm water offers
an excellent opportunity to observe numerous species of brightly colored
fish and possibly sea turtles or dolphins. Due to the protection of the
narrow mouth of the cove and the prodigious reef, it would be difficult
to find a place that feels safer to snorkel. It is one the most popular
attractions on Oahu and in order to protect the ecosystem it has been
designated a marine conservation area which is monitored and regulated
by the state.
