Atmosphere:
The largest sand beach between Kailua-Kona and Keauhou is the popular Kahalu'u Beach Park, adjacent to the Keauhou Beach Resort. This gray sand beach is one of the most popular swimming and premium snorkeling sites in the Kona district. Home to the green sea turtles, the area is also teeming with a good variety of marine life and beautiful tropical fish which seem to be nearly tame.
Additional Info:
In periods of high surf, the rip is like a river.When paddling out, paddle out towards the rock at the edge of the breakwater.
