User reviews
"Kona boasts some of the most stunning beaches around, and this particular one is no exception. While the drive may be a bit bumpy if you're not equipped with a 4x4, the journey is well worth it. During our visit, we were fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of some sea turtles and even a monk seal. The beauty of this beach is truly unparalleled."
Lirah K.
"The beach is quite lovely and is conveniently accessible. There are trees that provide shade, which is a nice touch. However, the road leading to the beach is quite rough and unpaved, with large gravel and potholes. It's best to avoid using a regular rental car and opt for a vehicle with high clearance."
