OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Mauumae Beach
is one of the Big Islands hidden gems. The
beach is usually quiet during the week, and
a great place for a picnic. A nice walking
trail leads to Mauna Kea beach. Snorkeling
is usually good. |

DIRECTIONS |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Take
highway 19 (Queen Kaahumanu Hwy) north out
of Kona. Follow it north through Waikoloa
Resort Area, past the Puako Road turnoff,
and past the Hapuna Beach State Rec Area.
After the overpass look on the left side of
the road for the entrance into the Mauna Kea
Resort. If you come to the 68 mile marker,
you have missed it. Let the gate guard know
you want to go to Mau'umae Beach. After
entering the resort property, turn right on
Kamahoi. Keep to the right. You will come to
some big buildings on the right. It feels
funny, but keep going straight, (don't turn
into their parking lot behind the building).
You will keep going straight and quickly
drive over a wood planked bridge. Keep
driving on the dirt road, over another
bridge. Keep going a good ways further. When
you start going down a little hill, with
some parking on the right, and pole #22 on
the left, you are there. |

While
Hawaii's beaches can bring much enjoyment,
it is always a good practice to use common
sense while visiting them. Please be aware
of the wave & wind conditions before going
into the water. Mornings are usually best
for swimming, snorkeling or diving. Have
respect for the strength of the waves and be
aware that high surf can come up at any
time. NEVER turn your back to the ocean.
Be careful when exploring any rocky
shorelines. Waves can crash on the rocks and
knock you over easily, and the rocks may
also be sharp when walking on them.
When snorkeling or scuba diving, please have
respect for ocean life, and remember that
the coral reef is alive too. Avoid standing
on or touching if at all possible. |
