Kuki’o Beach

Wow! After 2 weeks exploring the island on my last day we found this gem. I feel bad checking in and putting the word out there but this beach is perfect and natural feeling. No touristy stuff just sea turtles, a seal and Sandy beaches.
My 3 month old baby even gi5 to get some splashes in at the «pool». There are virtually no waves at this one spot perfect for small babies. I floated around and felt like a fish!
4 seasons entrance is nicer but the first one you go to is nice too with a clean bathroom and shower.

Another perfect beach to swim, snorkel, paddle board or chill at.
Bring a plate lunch, picnic, relax with a book or play in the water all day.
Soft sand and clear blue Pacific water will keep you coming back.
Keep your annoying kids away from the green turtles that are sunning, ha’oles.
Mahalo.

A beautiful spot! A hidden gem that should stay hidden! Need to return to recheck this beach out again.

Nice place to snorkel and watch sea turtles feed. Why pay to watch sea life when you can come here and snorkel for free?
Best beach in Kona by far.

Three days in a row we saw incredible sights below the surface and got there early enough to have shade all three days. Showers and CLEAN restrooms only a quick walk away. The resort employees were awesome to us and even let us borrow some equipment for as long as we needed. Makes me actually want to stay at the Four Seasons again. Sometimes great service is worth the expense. We did Airbnb this trip but next time we will do a combination of resort and Airbnb. Saw multiple turtles each day, by hugging the reef to the right of the entrance and we saw so many tropical fish. More than 2 Step and more the Mauna Kea Beach.

This beach was very relaxing and beautiful! There were not many people and it was pretty quiet. There are many rocks in the water however so it is not the easiest to swim in. Nevertheless it is a great place to visit while in Kona! Not to mention we saw turtles relaxing on the rocks 30 feet from the sand. Very cool beach!

This is a beautiful relaxing place. I almost don’t want to write a review so it can remain as untouched and beautiful as it is. Please, if you visit here, malama the aina and pick up after yourself and leave the place better than when you got there. (Whoa… where did that Hawaiian come from?!?)

I’m mean really? Who wouldn’t like this beach. It was gorgeous with the black lava rock and the waves crashing. Easy parking that was free too! Can’t wait to go back

Amazing beach with crystal clear water, beautiful fish, and turtles! So beautiful that we got married here a few years ago! Love it!

A public beach, located just outside a private, gated community, which means, you have to check in with security guard shack to enter. There are also limited parking spaces, so if you are planning, carpool and go early.
One of the few public beaches where you will find soap, paper towels, and clean restrooms. The swimming area is ideal for keiki’s and toddlers, with little wave action.
You will also see some fish swimming around, but not your traditional reef fish.
The walk from the parking lot to beach is approximately 50 yards of paved sidewalk.
Be sure to stay on the path due to Hawaiian sensitivity issues. Security is constantly monitoring area.
Kukio is located 5 miles north from Kona International Airport.

this place is awesome! it is environmental friendly, they use very clean towels instead of paper and very neat and clean. great for relaxation time. love this place.

This is where I found my «happy place» on the Big island!
It is attached to a resort, but since all beaches are public in Hawaii, if you go fairly early, you can get one of the 27 coveted parking spots for this heavenly beach… just ask to exercise your «beach rights» and the gatekeeper will issue you a car tag. We went twice, and had no problem, but it was around 10:00 AM. I know, but the little one was an early island riser… so there you have it!
Big thanks to Hawaii Revealed… it was such an asset, we simply would not have found the amazing spots we did without it!!! The same was true on Maui… simply the best book ever!!! I promise to review that, too!
It is a short walk on a paved path to the wonderful keiki pool called Kikaua Beach, then Kuki’o Beach is beyond, nearest the resort. Soft sand… amazing!
Clean restrooms, soap, and showers are available.
For me it was a grassy spot under a huge tree between the beaches I lounged, and read to my hearts content… so peaceful!!!
Plus baby could splash away… close by, and under the supervision of her parents, with all of the other keiki.
Family bliss!
