Alula Beach at a Glance

Looking for a beach that’s off the beaten path? The Alula Beach on Hawaii’s Big Island is perfect for beach-goers who want something quiet, peaceful, and secluded from the usually lively Hawaiian beaches. Famous for its crescent shape and sandy shores, the Alula features crystal-clear waters and an interesting marine culture.

The beach is a popular take-off point for offshore divers and snorkelers. At the far side, you will find dark rock walls that plunge 45 feet into the water, creating a natural shelter for the colorful fish that inhabit the area. These walls also shield the water from the tides, making it safe for swimmers and paddlers.

Perhaps the only downside to this beach is the lack of lifeguards, considering the steep walls and brackish ponds dotting the shore. However, there are designated safe areas where kids can swim with just minimal adult supervision. Upon entering the beach, consider making a stop at the entrance restrooms, as they are the only facilities around.

Alula Beach is part of the Kalolo-Honokohau National Historic Park, a 1160-acre preserve dedicated to Hawaiian culture and history. On the way to the beach, you will come across old stone houses, a heiau (an ancient Hawaiian temple), and other small beaches. Most visitors actually explore the park before settling on the beach.

The beach lies along Highway 19, just three miles from the town of Kailua-Kona at the foot of the Hualalai Volcano. The Keahole-Kona airport is also three miles to the south, making it easily accessible for newly landed tourists.

Safety Tip
Whatever beach in Hawaii you visit, please have in mind that the ocean can be very dangerous. Never turn your back against the waves and watch out for underwater currents and always check the surf conditions. Pay attention to signs posted on the beach. If you are not sure about the conditions, ask the lifeguards (if any on the beach). Please click here to read more about ocean safety in Hawaii.
