Tavares Bay

This is a small local beach in between Ho’okipa and Paia bay with a dirt parking lot located just off of Hana Highway and next to the rather large Blue Tiled House.

In the winter it can be a fun surf spot and year round it can be fun to play in the water, especially for the kids who can jump off the rocks over to the right when the water is calm.

However, this beach does not have showers or restrooms but does have plenty of parking.

The best spot to be with little ones is over to the right in the shade of a rocky enclave or under the trees, while the west end of the beach is a great place to comb for interesting shaped coral, for example hearts and letters.

The closest food location is the Kuau Store two minutes up the road, which has a good selection (can be a bit pricey) but has great panini sandwiches, while Paia is a few minutes in the easterly direction.
