Two Step is a popular snorkeling spot, next door to Pu’uhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, otherwise known as Place of Refuge. It gets its name from one of the entry points to the water, where two flat lava ledges make it easy to get in and out. Well, fairly easy; there’s usually a crowd gathered around the steps so it can be a bit of a scrum. Also, small sea urchins sometimes lurk in hollows in the steps.
Once it the water, there’s room to roam. I like to swim the length of the bay and out a little bit, to where I can look down the coral slopes leading to the sandy floor of the bay.

The fish must be pleased the crowds have disappeared! 🙂 Lovely view, idyllic

I bet they are. I try and get down there early when there’s a chance of having to bay to myself for a half hour or so.

wow how amazing . . I really wish I had spent time in Hawaii, rather than it just being a few hours stopover. So much wonderful nature to see
