Review:
Manini'owali Beach Kekaha Kai State Park website is a lovely secluded white sand beach at Kua Bay, located within the scenic Kekaha Kai State Park on Hawai'i's Big Island near the town of Kailua-Kona. The beach, which has been named as one of the Big Island's most beautiful white sand beaches, offers excellent opportunities for surfing during high wave conditions in the winter, but during the summer, calm waters make for perfect snorkeling and swimming conditions for the entire family.
Turtle and dolphin sightings are common at the beach, making it a prime spot for family wildlife watching. Visitors should note that beach access requires climbing down approximately 10 feet of lava rocks and should plan accordingly for young visitors or visitors with mobility concerns.
