- Crescent cove swimming & easy snorkeling — The bay’s sheltered, almost bowl-shaped layout keeps waves down, so you can swim and snorkel right off the sand without a long boat ride. Mornings usually have the best visibility and calmest water, so you’ll see reef fish and colorful patches of algae close to shore.
- Volcanic rock terraces and tide-pool hunting — Unlike a flat sandy stretch, Honeymoon Bay is ringed by sculpted rock shelves and little pools at low tide. They’re great for spotting hermit crabs, blennies and other tiny life up close — bring water shoes and go ankle-deep to avoid slipping.
- Sunset headland walk — A short scramble from the beach takes you up onto a low cliff that frames the whole bay. The angle of the coastline here makes sunsets extra dramatic, and the rocks give

- Sunset headland walk — A short scramble from the beach takes you up onto a low cliff that frames the whole bay. The angle of the coastline here makes sunsets extra dramatic, and the rocks give good foregrounds for photos as the sun drops behind the ocean.
- Shore-access coral snorkel / beginner freediving — There’s accessible reef right off the beach, so this spot is ideal for people learning to snorkel or freedive. The combination of shallow coral patches and easy exit points makes practice sessions low-stress — but use reef-safe sunscreen and don’t stand on coral.
- Low-light evenings: stargazing and glow chances — With limited light clutter near the shore, evenings here are nice for lay-back stargazing. On certain nights, when plankton conditions are right, you can also see faint bioluminescent flickers in the surf — not guaranteed, but memorable if you hit it.
