Ke‘EI Beach — Attraction in Hawaii

I loved it! But everyone in your group might not depending on their definition of an ideal beach. Loved the snorkeling! 🤿 saw tons of yellow fish, a puffer fish, and some coral. The ocean is calm enough to be safe to swim.

Driving TIP: make sure to turn down the road (dirt road easy to miss) “Ke’Ei rd” right after the Keawikiki Rd. We drove down the dirt path until we parked here at the black rocks.

You could drive a bit further down, park, then walk along the path/ beach to the sandy beach. BUT, there are lots of spikes sea urchins along the beach. They’re easier to avoid if you chose to jump into the water along the rocky part where we chose to park. You just have to be careful.

Someone in another persons group immediately stepped on one when they got there and they just left dissapointed.

Worth it for me. :) Secluded and not too many...

Do not attempt coming here unless you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle and you're comfortable driving one lane rough terrain.

The GPS is a tough follow, but will get you there. You'll be tempted to turn around because of all the private property signs, but follow the road to where it opens to a parking area. Park and follow the road around to the back and white sand beach, beautiful water, great snorkeling and seclusion.

Speaking of seclusion, DO NOT TRESPASS ON...

Road can be a little rough but well worth it. Great snorkelling and swimming. Respect the locals who live there it is there home. If you meet another car and are able to pull over please do. But be adventurous and try a cliff jump. Or just walk along the beautiful coast line. Remember no lifeguards on duty so swim at your own risk. If your unsure please don't try....
