OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Koki Beach is
located past Hana town on your way to Oheo
Gulch/Seven Pools. It is a fun, relatively
uncrowded beach where you can watch surfers
up close.
This beach is tucked in a corner against a
hill of an old red colored lava flow. The
crumbling red cinder can give the beach a
reddish tint. The beach has a natural
sandbar that is great for surfers catching
the waves breaking quite close to the beach.
Activities include swimming, when the surf
is down and of course surfing and
bodyboarding.
There are a number of trees that provide
shade and some benches where you can have a
picnic lunch. Many tourists bring there
lunches here to enjoy the scenery. But there
are no bathrooms or other amenities. |

DIRECTIONS |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Continue driving out of Hana town as if you are going to the
seven pools. Koki Beach is about a five minute drive from
Hana. Turn left at the sign for Hamoa Beach. You cant miss
it. This is a road that does a loop by the ocean. You will
always end up on Hana Hwy. Hamoa Beach is on one end of the
loop and Koki Beach is on the other.

While
Hawaii's beaches can bring much enjoyment,
it is always a good practice to use common
sense while visiting them. Please be aware
of the wave & wind conditions before going
into the water. Mornings are usually best
for swimming, snorkeling or diving. Have
respect for the strength of the waves and be
aware that high surf can come up at any
time. NEVER turn your back to the ocean.
Be careful when exploring any rocky
shorelines. Waves can crash on the rocks and
knock you over easily, and the rocks may
also be sharp when walking on them.
When snorkeling or scuba diving, please have
respect for ocean life, and remember that
the coral reef is alive too. Avoid standing
on or touching if at all possible. |
