Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

“Kolekole Falls” is a name I’m using for this little cascade which looked like a place with a lot of potential for being a popular swimming area as well as for rope swinging.

Of course I use the word “potential” because no one was swimming on the day we came here as the stream fronting the falls was moving fast and the ocean at the mouth of the stream was churning. I got the name from the fact that it sits in Kolekole Beach Park.

Contrasting the peace and serenity of our visit, I had read later that the Kolekole Beach Park allowed tent camping, and past visitors had complained of rowdiness here (especially on the weekends). So maybe we just got lucky with the timing of our visit.

As for the beach itself, it was more boulders than sand, especially at high tide (which was the case when we were there).
