Located at the north end of Big Beach, a small amount of rock climbing is necessary to get there. For the free-spirited, it is a clothing optional beach.

Arts & Culture

It's kind of a funky old museum but we had a fun time with our kids and it gives you a feel for what life was back in the sugar cane boom.

Shopping

I love this place because I can always find what I need whether it's comfortable walking sandals, a new bikini or gifts. They also have great restaurants and very upscale stores like, Tiffany & Co, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Prada.

Sightseeing

I've driven up to the crater once and also wouldn't recommend it. Much like the road to Hana, it's very slow and windy and a long day in the car. On the up side, I hear that you can rent bikes to ride down which might be fun!

I have never taken this trip but based on other's comments would not recommend it. It is a very long and winding road that is slow going. I understand that it is very beautiful but also a long day in the car.
