Kapaa Beach Park at a Glance

If you like your beaches small and private, you’ll love this quiet rocky beach on the North Kohala Coast. Kapaa Beach is conveniently hidden despite being in a cultural hotspot, making it an ideal stop for tourists on the go. The beach is perhaps best known for its views of Maui, the Big Island’s closest neighbor, which looks simply spectacular in the sunset.

But there’s more to Kapaa than just lovely sunsets. It’s also an excellent snorkeling spot, offering sparkly clear waters and beautiful underwater views. The cove is naturally protected by reefs, keeping the water calm for most of the year. There are lots of interesting rock formations and colorful fish, some of them among the biggest on the island. In the summer, there is some good fishing just a few meters offshore.

A short walk from the shore will take you to the Mookini Heiau, the largest temple in Hawaii. Built over 1500 years ago, the temple is about the size of a football field and is dedicated to the Hawaiian war god Ku. Also nearby is the Kamehameha Akahi Aina Hanau, the alleged birthplace of Kamehameha the Great. It is said that the king was born here in 1958 as Halley’s Comet flew overhead.

Kapaa Beach is great for families and couples who want to relax for a whole day. Camping is allowed on the beach and is fairly popular among backpackers. There are fairly good facilities around, including restrooms, shower rooms, picnic tables, and barbecue grills.

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.
