Pebble Beach at a Glance
Once can feel a soft sense of calm hanging over this remote
beach at the Kona Coast. Pebble Beach gets its name from
the black lava pebbles that line its coast, creating a unique
and attractive landscape. Adding to its serene air is the
clear blue water, home to a rich marine ecosystem and a
prime spot for scuba diving and snorkeling.
The underwater scene here is not to be missed. Just under
the surface, you’ll find a wide array of ridges, pinnacles,
and reefs, all teeming with fish and other native marine
life. Some of these ridges lead to steep drop-offs which
may be dangerous to novice swimmers. Make sure to check
water conditions before diving in, as some areas get very
deep when the surf rises.
The shore is not the best place to hang out, as there is
no sand and the pebble ground can get quite hot at the peak
of summer. Instead, you can try your hand at sailing or
kayaking. You can rent a boat and explore nearby areas such
as the Au Au Canyon, the Three Room Cave, Pinnacle Paradise,
and the Twin Sisters Lava Tubes. If you’d rather stay out
of the water, consider setting up camp closer to the edge
where the ground is softer and cooler.
Access to Pebble Beach is a bit of a challenge. The most
common route is through the Kona Paradise subdivision, about
an hour’s drive south of Kona. From here, you’ll follow
a very steep winding road leading to the beach. A four-wheel
drive vehicle is best for this terrain. Parking is very
limited, so come early to avoid hassles.

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
