Hulopo'e Bay Beach and Marine Preserve

At the foot of Four Seasons Resort Lana'i at Manele Bay is Hulopo'e Beach, an idyllic stretch of white sand with picnic facilities, shady palms and gentle waves for swimming and splashing. It's common to see spinner dolphins close to the shoreline, and humpback whales during the winter months. The waters offshore are a protected marine preserve, with snorkelling and diving spots that are among the best in Hawaii.
