Onomea Bay is a small bay off the north-eastern coast of the island of Hawai'i. The Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden is located just inland from its northern shore.[1] There is also a short trail that follows the bay's edge.[2]

The bay used to feature a large volcanic rock arch formation on its southern edge, but it collapsed during an earthquake in 1956.[1]
