There are also reefs near the Ma'alaea end of the beach. There are no facilities anywhere except the east end of the beach. At this end of the beach there is the Kealia Beach Plaza. There are showers, telephone, and rest rooms that are available to the public. You can also get a bite to eat at several restaurants and food stores on the east end.
Parking is generally along the side of the highway, just pull off into firm sand.
So far this has not affected the accessibility to the west end of the beach near Ma'alaea. There is also a proposal to enlarge the wharf, for commercial purposes. Many of the residents fear this will alter the quality of living in the area. The real highlight of this beach is the beach itself. It is very long, and of course, the wild life preserve is a great place to watch for rare birds.
