Laupāhoehoe Beach (Hawaii) is located outside the Ninole 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 Laupāhoehoe 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.

User reviews

"This is a fantastic spot to stop by if you're driving around the area. The shoreline boasts a rugged and stunning landscape with waves crashing against the rocks, making it a serene place to sit and take in the view. Although not ideal for swimming, it's a peaceful and secluded spot to appreciate the ocean's beauty."

Samantha K

"This park is a must-see if you're in the area. The water near the lava rocks looks like it's glacier blue, and the views of the cliffs are truly spectacular. There's a huge grassy field that would be perfect for a picnic or playing games. Additionally, there are two sets of bathrooms and showers, which is a nice touch."
