Kukio Beach at a Glance
At first glance, Kukio Beach is your typical Hawaiian paradise.
A long strip of white sand, clear blue waters, and some
lush greenery in the distance make it one of the most picture-perfect
spots in Hawaii County. Not surprisingly, Kukio Beach a
popular spot for weddings and a favorite among beach photographers.
Visitors from adjacent beaches often drop by Kukio just
to admire the scenery.
But this little cove does far more than sit and look pretty.
If you happen to come in the summer, take a dip in the shallow
waters and explore the beautiful reefs that surround it.
During low tide, the water is barely four feet deep-perfect
for beginners and amateur snorkelers. There is a drop-off
at the edge of the cove where divers often go to see more
of the underwater world.
Kukio Beach is quite small, but there is certainly a lot
to see. If you’ve got time to kill, go check out some of
the nearby beaches. You can actually walk to the Kikaua
Beach just a few hundred yards away, or take a long hike
on the Huehue Hualalai Trail.
The crowds are never too thick on Kukio Beach, mainly because
there are bigger, more adventurous beaches close to it.
If you don’t mind walking to the beach, you may consider
checking in at one of the high-end resorts around the back.
There are no camping facilities here, so it’s best to station
yourself at a hotel or one of the bigger beaches.
