Keokea Beach Park at a Glance
“Beautiful” is the first place that comes to mind when you
set foot on Keakea Beach. Here you’ll find lava rocks dramatically
strewn over calm, bubbly waters, lush vegetation, and a
view of the scenic mountains in the distance. It’s not your
picture-perfect white sand beach, but it’s got the kind
of rugged beauty that reels you in and makes you stay all
day.
If you’re after some serious swimming, however, Keokea is
not the beach for you. Unlike most Big Island beaches, it’s
not protected by offshore reefs, so the surf is strong for
a good part of the year. There is a small stream in the
park area where children can play, but make sure to keep
an eye out so they don’t stray off to the rocks.
Try taking a walk over the rocks when the sun is not too
harsh. Along the way, you’ll find a small breakwater of
boulders and some of the prettiest greenery in the area.
This spot was once a community project meant to improve
the beach cove, although it never saw completion. Today,
it’s just an access point to some good fishing spots on
the water.
What it lacks in the water, Keokea makes up for on the coast.
This beach has some of the best facilities in the area,
including picnic benches, pavilions, fire pits, barbecue
grills, restrooms, and shower rooms. There are also some
beach shops in the park area where you can get some souvenirs,
as well as a few food stalls.

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
