Māhukona Beach (Hawaii) is located outside the Hawi settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Hawaii and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Māhukona Beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"The beach offers an exceptional snorkeling experience with a diverse range of fish species to explore. Access to the water is effortless, with a simple descent down a vertical ladder attached to a concrete wall. Even those with limited mobility can easily partake in this water adventure."

Mighty Blaze

"On a crystal-clear day, I had an exhilarating experience snorkeling with a 6ft sandbar shark near the dock. The beach is an excellent spot for whale watching and overall a fantastic destination. It falls short of a perfect rating due to the absence of freshwater. However, the breathtaking sunsets are an absolute highlight that cannot be overlooked."
