About This Beach
Tucked just south of Honokōhau Harbor, little ʻAlula Beach is a crescent of sand popular with snorkelers and scuba divers who slip into deeper, clearer water along lava walls that drop to ~45 feet offshore. There are no facilities or lifeguards here—use restrooms at the harbor—and the vibe is low-key and local. Calm mornings are best for visibility; surge and currents can increase with tide or swell. The beach sits at the edge of Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park, home to fishponds and cultural sites—explore with care and respect posted rules. Parking is available at the end of Kealakehe Parkway, near the harbor; a short walk leads to the beach. This is a quiet Kona spot for confident swimmers seeking fish-rich reef without crowds.
Best Time to Visit: Morning hours, late spring–summer for lighter surf and clearer water.
Quick Highlights: Clear snorkeling/diving • Harbor-adjacent access • Cultural park next door.
