Keomuku Beach at a Glance
Keomuku Beach encompasses six miles (9.6 km) of shoreline on Lanai’s
east coast. The shoreline consists of many narrow black
sand and cobblestone beaches. Offshore is one of the longest
stretches of fringing reef in Hawaii, which is more than
a half mile (800 m) wide in several places.
The ocean bottom is mainly shallow and rocky with only a
few patches of sand inbetween. The water is usually murky
and choppy because of the strong and steadily blowing trade
winds. For these reasons, it’s not a favorite beach for
swimmers. Keomoku Beach is primarily used by local fishermen
and picnickers. There are also remains of two ancient fishponds.
Kiawe trees make up the majority of the shoreline vegetation.
Keomuku Beach is accessible with a four-wheel drive. There
are many access roads from Keomuku Road to the beach.

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
