Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at 'Alula Beach (Kona Dog Beach)
Alua Beach is a pleasant little cove that has easy access to a popular boat diving site. Take water and a snack with you. There are facilities nearby (water, restrooms) in the harbor proper, but not at the beach. Watch for the boat traffic, as they may not be watching for you. It is not recommended to snorkel here for that reason.
Directions: On Highway19, coming North from Kailua-Kona, the turn off will be 2.4 miles from the junction of 19 and 190

June 16,2010 Dove here at 9:00 am 3 dive boats were already in the water. Carried gear over lava rock and set up on beach, was not that bad, carried one bag and one tank on shoulder and it took only 2 trips. You could wear your gear and carry tank if you feel like it. Entry was easy, floated over just passed rocks from beach sank to 15 20 feet and followed the shore line to the left, spinner dolphins were every where. Boat traffic was no problem since you are at 50 to 60 feet. If you dive near the boat channel, depth goes to 120, however mostly sand at that depth, reef ends at about 60 feet and continues up to 10 feet. Saw: Dolphins, Eel, Octopus, and large schools of numerous fish. Would dive again, and did!!!
