Soft, sandy beach. Entrance is through Four Seasons Hualalai resorts. Sandy beach. About 30 minutes from downtwon Kailua-Kona. $50 ROE Permit Fee + $25 Travel Fee
Great location if staying at a Waikoloa area resort. Beautiful sunset views any time of year. White coral, black lava and blue waters are your landscape. Good location for just bride & groom ceremonies or groups of 5 or less. No permit necessary. $75 travel fee.
Add $75 for permit and travel. Location has a flat grassy area as well as sandy and rocky shoreline areas with palm trees.
Just north of the Kona Airport. Jeeps or lifted vehicles only as the road is unpaved and very uneven along the way. Long stretch of beach. Both sandy and lava rock mixture. We recommend Mahai'ula beach on the far North end. $125 travel fee.
"End of the World" as many locals call it. 30 minutes from downtown Kona. Scenic lava cliff overlook. Waves crashing into lava wall can make for nice photos. $30 travel fee. Sunset only is recommended as the lava rock collects and gives off a lot of heat during the day.
5 Minutes from central Kona. No travel or beach permit fee. Busy, local "kine" beach.
