点评:This is a great snorkeling and swimming location for confident and experienced swimmers, with a distinctly local feel. We found it uncrowded, with adults fishing from the pier, kids spearfishing, families swimming, and a diver with scuba gear and a camera—all of whom appeared to be locals enjoying the water.
Despite its name, there is no actual beach here. Instead, a concrete pier remains from the days when this site served as a port for the old sugar mill. A ladder on the pier makes getting in and out of the water relatively straightforward, and the area around the pier is nicely protected and opens up into a bay with plenty of underwater terrain to explore. The water was exceptionally clear, with no waves washing in from a sandy beach to stir up sediment. Snorkeling was excellent, with plenty of fish and invertebrates, along with a few relics from the site's industrial past.
The site has limited shade, so this isn't the best place to spend the middle of the day if you're looking to lounge on shore. But if your focus is on spending time in the water, Mahukona is hard to beat. Sand is in very short supply, which is a bonus if you don't want it all over your gear and body. The ability to park just feet from the ocean also makes this a particularly convenient destination for divers and anyone carrying a lot of gear who doesn't want to schlep it a long distance.
翻译:对于自信且经验丰富的游泳爱好者来说,这里是浮潜和游泳的绝佳去处,充满浓厚的本地风情。我们发现这里人不多:有成年人在码头上钓鱼,孩子们在用鱼叉捕鱼,一家家人在水中嬉戏,还有一位背着潜水装备并带着相机的潜水员——他们似乎都是享受着水上乐趣的当地人。
虽然名字叫“海滩”,但这里其实并没有真正的沙滩。只有一座混凝土码头留存至今,那是过去这里作为旧糖厂港口时留下的遗迹。码头上的梯子让进出水中变得相当容易,码头周围区域也得到了良好保护,随后便是一片海湾,那里有众多水下地形可供探索。海水异常清澈,没有海浪从沙滩涌来搅动沉积物。浮潜体验极佳,能看到大量鱼类和无脊椎动物,还有一些该地工业历史遗留的遗迹。
此处阴凉处较少。因此,如果你打算在岸边放松休息,这里并非最佳选择。但如果你更想泡在水里玩耍,那么马胡科纳绝对是个绝佳去处。这里的沙滩极少,不过对于不想让沙子沾满装备和身体的游客来说,这反而是个优点。此外,停车场就在离海边仅几步之遥的地方,这对于潜水员以及那些携带大量装备、不愿走远路的人来说也极为便利。
