Kahuwai Bay at a Glance

Kahuwai Bay is a well-guarded secret of the local diving community. The rough weather and unpredictable waves make it a haven for adventure-seekers, and the secluded location offers a lot of privacy. The sandy beach area is home to about 40 different diving sites, most of them within easy walking distance. If you’re the type who can ride the waves all day, Kahuwai Bay is certainly the place for you!

On calmer days, don’t miss out on the underwater scenery. The lava rocks form beautiful archways, plateaus, and canyons that look almost surreal in the sunlight. There’s also some interesting marine life here, most notably the green sea turtles that sometimes swim close to shore. The water is very shallow, so you don’t even have to wade in to see them up close.

One thing you can’t get here is a leisurely swim. The only access to the water is via a sharp, slippery lava shelf, and the current can get out of control at times. There are also no lifeguards, so dive on only if you are very experienced or know your way around the bay.

The shore itself is a nice place to hang out. There are palm trees lining the area and providing excellent shade for picnics and parties. The beach offers night views of the late afternoon sunset. However, there are no facilities on Kahuwai Bay save for a couple of shower rooms. If you’re looking for something more conventional, head over to the nearby Kona area where there are other, bigger beaches.

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.
