This is the beach that the famous scene in "From Here To Eternity" was filmed and more recently "I know what you did last summer" the series was shot in this exact location! Halona Beach Cove is an absolutely stunning site and is a great place to take beautiful pictures. Conveniently close to Honolulu and plenty of parking, make this a massive tourist attraction. This cove also contains a unique blowhole that adventurous tourists can cautionly sneak down to and view all of its glory.

Fun, somewhat secluded beach. Don't leave valuables in car. Every time that I've been here, I see broken glass from smashed Windows. I personally never had a problem. My next visit was today October 8th 2019 there was a police car parked in the parking lot... hopefully that will stop the thieves

Technically, you're not supposed to go down to the beach area. It is a pretty easy walk down, but a little harder getting back up if there is an accident

This place has awesome waves and it’s so cool to swim with a view of the blowhole spraying every few minutes dozens of feet up into the air! When it’s calmer some people jump off the rocks into the crystal clear waters. The beach is very cute, small and protected from the road by high walls, so it feels a world away. Parking can be tough. There are no services.

Halona Blowhole lookout and Halona Beach Cove are a must-visit during your tour of Oahu. It is a short drive from Honolulu. You can access the cove by walking down a trail (flip flops are not ideal footwear) to get the the small beach at the bottom. The view is beautiful. People were there swimming. There are lots of little crabs on the rocks which are amusing to watch. There is a cave that goes all the way under the road to the other side. We went in for a bit but it gets very dark once you get in a good way. It is pretty from the outside but I’d avoid going in. It smells like urine in my opinion. Avoid the cave and you’ll have a magical experience at this little cove. Wear good shoes and take tour flip flops for the beach. The beach sparkles like diamonds. Very beautiful.

One of my favorite places to go in Oahu. To the right of the lookout is the beach. Place is amazing on a calm water day. Small cliff on the right side you can jump in the water. To the left of the lookout is the lava tube small little walk to the lower part of the cove. Pretty easy access for some cool photos.

Definitely five stars I was 15 when I was here and it was my first time seeing a women topless in person.

Unique beach cove with beautiful waves crashing into small swimming area and sandy places in which to relax. During the right season, whales can be seen breaching in the distance. Must climb down rocky path to access. Parking is difficult during busy times. Be sure to lock your car and leave nothing in view.

Small beach you can hangout at and enjoy the day. No restrooms and you can park at the tip from the lookout. You can also walk to the halona blowhole which is down below near the beach.

One of my favourite beaches here - it wasn't nearly as busy as Waikiki, but it did get busy during the weekend. We had to wait 15min to get a parking spot on Saturday, when there was no wait on Thursday. The waves are really fun, and some people were snorkeling, but there wasn't much to see except a few fish.

We explored around the cove on to the cliffs and the next beach over. Absolutely beautiful and worth the visit. Use caution with the big waves though, they can be fun but took me out for a tumble!

Halona Beach Cove is tiny, yet popular. A deep inlet in the jagged cliffs bring waves onto a cute sandy strip where people play in its unique surf. I recently watched young guys jumping into the pool of water timed with the waves. Looked like a lot of fun. My wife and I call it the "From Here to Eternity" beach based on a lusty scene with Debra Kerr and Burt Lancaster from the early 50's movie that filmed it there. Now everyone goes there.

Beautiful beach surrounded by rock cliffs. This is the beach used in the movie From Here to Eternity when Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr kiss as waves roll over them which is pictured on the movie poster.

I had THE MOST FUN HERE that I've had in years! ...Couldn't help myself but to act out my slap-stick version of rolling around on the beach in some romantic scene gone silly....solo version...slapstick.....cheeky.... homage to all of the great Comediennes of back in the day.... Laughed and enjoyed watching others crack up at my antics! Seriously, though, the ocean healed me a bit of the seriousness and heaviness of life. Mahalo. 🏝🏝🏝 The water was incredible! It was an experience of a lifetime! Bucket list item: ✔.

Beautiful yet very small beach; it starts feeling like a Las Vegas pool party when there are 30-40 people here. Come here very early on the weekends or anytime during the week. If you’re here during the week, you will likely have the beach to yourself or maybe one or two other visitors. Beautiful beach and you can definitely have the “I’ve-got-the-beach-all-to-myself” feel during the weekday. It has great potential for sunrise/ sunset pictures.

Halona Beach is beautiful very clear water and you can snorkel, there was a small turtle swimming and I was able to make a small video. This Beach spot is a must go.

Cool secret beach that is a quick walk down from the overlook parking lot. Swimming can be quite treacherous when the surf is up and there's no lifeguards, but it is definitely worth the quick stop, especially away from the more crowded beaches in the area. There is also a small blowhole you can see if the waves are higher.

Between the Halona Blowhole parking lot, and the Japanese Fishing Shrine, lies the "From Here to Eternity Beach." Access to the beach is down a cliff from the Halona Blowhole parking lot.

The view from above is simply mesmerizing. Youll find the turquoise wavering water is strong. Behind you is a wall of mountain with the view of the highway and youll see the vehicles as they drive along. If youre brave enough and an experienced swimmer you can climb down the cove and go for a swim or simply dip in the water and have fun as the waves come in. Some people scale the cliffs which I dont recommend due to it’s dangerous nature and possible damage to the rocks might incur.

Truly absurd how lovely it is here. So many folks sometimes but can you blame them? Be kind. Share the space. Meet new people. ✨🙏

Anyone been here will comeback again!

A very nice scenic place.

(Translated by Google) It may be difficult to understand where to get off, but if you get down on the beach below, you have never met Japanese people. I think it is better to get off with sneakers because the place to get off is steep. The beach has a feeling of secret and can be made surprisingly slow. (Original) 降りる場所が分かりづらいからかも知れませんが、下のビーチに降りると日本人と会った事がありません。 降りる場所は急なのでスニーカーで降りた方がいいと思います。 ビーチはシークレット感があり意外とゆっくり出来ます。

Halona Beach Cove is a small pocket of sand located on the southeastern shore of Oahu, Hawaii - USA A good place to photography Remarkable

Stunning view! Gorgeous beach.

It a little hide gem where you can ride the waves and it not crowded

The wind was high and the waves were huge. This was a small but fantastic beach. Out of all the beaches we went to my kids say this was their favorite. While I enjoyed it I have to admit it was only my second favorite. It definitely deserves five stars, though.

Awesome beach. Waters were a little rough probably not best for swimming but very scenic. Even saw a few sea turtles. Do have to go down an incline to get to the beach, but it wasn't too bad.

Amazing place, make sure you check the weather before you go. It is a very small beach that can get ugly if the seas come up.

Very beautiful with large waves crashing against the rocks. Lots of crabs 🦀

(Translated by Google) Next to that, I stopped by and said, "Yabakune !!" I don't want to tell anyone, I can't help teaching (Original) ふらり立ち寄ったその横に、「やばくね！！」 誰にも教えたくないような、教えずにはいられないような

(Translated by Google) Beautiful little cove in the eastern part of the island, famous for being where the kiss that Deborah Kerr and Burt Lancaster gave each other in 'From here to eternity' was rolled. The viewpoint from the parking lot is worth it, but you have to go down to the sand and take a walk through the volcanic rocks. The photos that are obtained are magnificent. We were here in May 2018. (Original) Pequeña cala preciosa en la parte oriental de la isla, famosa por ser donde ser rodó el beso que se daban Deborah Kerr y Burt Lancaster en 'De aquí a la eternidad'. El mirador desde el parking ya vale la pena, pero hay que bajar hasta la arena y darse un paseo por las rocas volcánicas. Las fotos que se consiguen son magníficas. Estuvimos aquí en mayo de 2018.

This place use to be a secret get away for da locals.....not no more...like everything else...over crowded....just like our hiking trails....

The best spot for activity

Parking is a pain, but well worth the visit.

A must go for travellers. Hangout here for a few hours and settle in on the beach. Jump into the water and enjoy the cover scenery

One of the best hidden places in Oahu to catch a few waves and hang out for a couple of hours.

I loved this spot! You can see the blowout hole and also go down the small beach. There’s also a cave/tunnel down there! Both times I went were kinda crowded but there’s always people playing music on their speaker so it’s a nice vibe! This place was the only one where the water didn’t burn my eyes after jumping🫶🏼🫶🏼 the only reason I give it a 4/5 is because the sand is son thin so if it’s really windy it goes everywhere!!! One time I couldn’t lay down on my towel without being full of sand:(( Also saw a turtle!

Beautiful beach with strong wave. You can have a lot of fun here if you aren’t scare of the water and strong wave. We jumped into the wave and let it carried us in. Watch out for sharp rock.

Absolutely adore this spot. Not too many people and lots of space to park and set up camp. There's also a spot to wash off.

We got there about 9am with plenty of places to park and the halona blowhole parking lot. View was amazing. Nice small beach with very interesting character. Snorkeling, tide pools, rock climbing, cliff diving, and caves.

One of my favorite places to bring people to when they come to visit me. Gorgeous views and a kind of serene space because you have to go down some stairs to get there. Bring a towel and go for a lovely warm swim

Second day here in Hawaii, and we found this beach just by driving around. I don’t think it can get any better than this !!! ❤️

A beautiful cove that isn't packed with beach goers. There is also a blowhole worth checking out.

Wonderful beach with some really interesting geography around it. We went when the waves were fairly flat but they can get fairly significant so be careful. There is a small beach and an small area with sad to enter the cove from but you need to be careful about rocks especially as the tides move you around.

Definitely put your flip-flops sandals or watershoes if youre planning on getting close to the blow hole, definitely one of the must stop places on the island, you get to see this and chill at cockroach cove on the same day! Parking is definitely the only downside to this spot since its very popular and the lot is very small so come reasonably early

(Translated by Google) It was a small but strong little beach. People who enjoy the waves and people floating in the water combine to create a spectacular view. (Original) 아담하지만 강한 작은 해변이었다. 파도를 즐기는 사람들과 물에 둥둥 떠다니는 사람들이 어우러져 장관을 이룬다.

Tricky to get down but once down there good wave action

Epic! Breathtaking! Surreal...Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed here.

We only stopped by during a scenic drive in the evening and it was beautiful! I'm planning to spend the day in this area over the weekend!

Missing Hawaii and cockroach cove! This spot should be on your list when visiting the island.

Fantastic view and great mystery cave

What a beautiful and fun beach! Not for the kids really, with higher waves, walk down from the road, and but much room to play, but a little retreat along the road. Go early before the crowds arrive. The lava tube is eerie and exploring the rock formations makes it exciting.

OUR FAVORITE BEACH!! So peaceful and so much to do, you can watch the Halona Blowhole, do some small cliff jumps into the cove, explore the volcanic rock formations, lay on the beach, checkout the cave, or take a dip in the ocean! Worth the small climb down to the cove every time. There's many names for the beach such as "Cockroach Cove" and "From Here To Eternity Beach".

It's an incredibly beautiful place, and it's only 16 miles (25 on.) from downtown Honolulu. Driving east, it's just past Hanauma Bay, and right before Sandy Beach. It's right at the Halona Blowhole Lookout.

Perhaps the best “secret” beach on O’ahu.. “Cockroach Cove”, near the Halona blow hole.. para-effing-dice!

(Translated by Google) Still as wonderful as 40 years ago. (Original) Toujours aussi merveilleux qu'il y a 40 ans.

The most beautiful location on the southern coast

Not bad for a stop-by.

This beach is everything!

Awesome place. There is no facilities at all, it's not an actual park. There is a sign that says don't enter, that's where you want to enter. Climb down some rocks and you end up at a cool little beach. The snorkeling is not easy there due to the waves, but it has some pretty great views. Would definitely come back.

One of my favorite places, sweet pictures

The loveliest place at the loveliest place on Earth.

(Translated by Google) In a word, it's fantastic. The waves are strong and dangerous. I'm wearing sunglasses in the rough waves I gave it to the sea. It's a kind of fee to enjoy nature. The $ 100 fee isn't wasteful (my sunglasses costs $ 100). The place is amazing. (Original) 한마디로 환상적이다. 파도가 세서 위험하다. 난 여기서 거친 파도에 선글라스를 바다에게 내어주었다. 자연을 누리는 일종의 이용료 인거다. 100불의 이용료가 아깝지 않다.(내 선글라스는 100불이다) 그만큼 이곳은 훌륭하다.

Sweet place, I should have brought my mask and fins though. Current can be strong but it's manageable.

With the right time of year, what an amazing place for a sunrise. Get there early at dark and just relax on the beach and enjoy.

(Translated by Google) To put it, a small beach you want to put in your pocket. It has high retreat and deep water, so if you have a life jacket, you can enjoy many times, you can dive, and most of all, you want to stay in a nature-friendly environment (including the way down). It is also famous as the kissing scene of the movie [from earth to eternity]. When I stayed here, there was a couple who were quite old, embodying the actual kiss scene. (Original) 표현하자면 주머니에 넣고 싶은 아담한 해변. 은근 파도도 높고 수심도 있어, 구명조끼 있으면 몇배 더 즐길 수 있음, 다이빙할 수 있는 곳도 있고 무엇보다 자연친화적인 환경(내려가는 길 포함)에 평생 그대로 였으면 좋겠다. 영화 [지상에서 영원으로]의 키스신으로도 유명한 곳. 마침 여기서 머물때 실제 키스신을 구현하는 나이가 꽤 있는 커플이 있었다ㅎㅎ ㅂ

Very beautiful lookout and bay.

Get here EARLY. This place will fill up with people fast, but it has the very best tiny beach on the island. The waters are stunningly clear, the parking lot offers easy access, and you get the best view of the blowhole. I'd spend every day there if I could!

One of my favorite beaches to go to in Hawaii. It's a hike to get there (literally), but it's short and not very difficult. You can climb the cliffs, swim in the waves, or just sit on the sand. The current here is strong, so people who are afraid of the ocean may want to stay away, but it's definitely worth seeing if you're ever in Hawaii.

Great place for kids to jump off rocks into the water.

My absolute favorite spot in Oahu!

Very pretty, beach gets crowded.

My favourite beach in Oahu. I prefer weekdays because it is a little quieter. If you’re lucky you may see some sea turtles

Being right next to the Blow Hole, you could not be curious to what it look likes. I am not sure exactly what old movies were done there, but this is nice petite beach.

This is not a good place to come for swimming or anything else. Very rocky and the surf is too big for kids. I would not recommend visiting. Waikiki Beach is much better!!!

The lookout gets busy but the beach cove doesn't
