Hawaii Kai, Hawaii - Toilet Bowl swimming hole

The trail via Hanauma Bay to the Toilet Bowl rock pool is currently "closed until further notice." According to Hanauma Bay staff, the trail is closed due to the unstable nature of the rock face along the path, and will remain so until the state conducts a survey and implements corrective measures. In other words, it's closed permanently. [David W. Dellinger, 07/11/2005]
