When people close their eyes during cold New York or London winters and dream of the tropics, they picture this beach. It is a pristine expanse of warm, soft sand and deep blue water. It is situated just below black lava-rock cliffs which add to its aesthetic impact and make it very difficult to reach. It is necessary to hike down to the beach and back up to the main road. This is a dangerous beach for swimming but a great spot for pictures. Movie buffs will be interested in visiting just to take a look at the beach that was used to film South Pacific.

I Went To Lumahai Beach in Summer
During the summer my daughter and I swam at Lumahai Beach, the water is wonderful. I can tell you at the time the waves were very calm not like the wintertime where they get up to 15 to 25 feet. However, when my daughter and I were jumping off the rocks into the water during the summer we were swimming back to shore I could feel myself being pulled side to side by the current. The only way I got back into shore is swim parallel to the beach. Lumahai Beach is not for small children; there is a powerful undertow along with a rip current. Unless you’re a strong swimmer and know what you’re doing, don’t swim at Lumahai Beach. By all means take beautiful pictures. Hope this information helps you.
