OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Kikaua Point Beach is on the of prettiest,
family-friendly beaches on the Big Island.
This pristine white sandy beach is
surrounded by lava rocks and large groves of
shady trees. Just 100 yards north of the
point is Kukio Beach, another white sand
crescent-shaped beach - pick whichever one
you like best! The closest beach to the
parking area (just south of the point) is in
a small well-protected inlet; the very calm
waters and soft sandy bottom are perfect for
families and youngsters. There are plenty
of shady spots underneath the trees and even
a small lush grassy lawn to sit and relax. |

DIRECTIONS |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Kikaua Point Beach is located approximately
10 miles north of Kailua-Kona, adjacent the
Kukio Golf Resort. Coming from Kailua, turn
left at Kukio Nui Road (near mile marker 87
on Route19), enter via the gate house - just
tell the guards "public beach access" and
they will let you in. Come early, there are
only 27 parking spots in the paved parking
lot, and the guard house will not let you in
if the parking lot is full. At the parking
lot there is a paved trail that leads you on
a 5-minute walk to the beach. |

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. |
