Favorite boogieboarding spot. Snack bar with local grinds. Good spot to sun, fish, catch up on some reading or just kick back and coast. I way back in 1790. Kona Coast State Park L,P,SN,SW A short trip down a bumpy road in what seems to be the middle of nowhere brings you to an expansive beach park.
Snorkeling can be pretty good here.
Plenty of sand and sun. Usually calm water. A large coral reef in the bay makes for predictably calm waters. Surfers and boogieboarders head out beyond the reef, but watch for rip tides. 6. Napo'opo'o Beach Park T,S,SN,SW Small beach made even smaller by Hurricane Iniki's passing, located in historic Kealakekua Bay, site of Captain Cook's demise.
