Kealia Beach
- Address: At mile marker 10 on Rte. 56, HI | Map It
Fodor's Review:
A half mile long and adjacent to the highway heading north out of Kapaa, Kealia Beach attracts body boarders and surfers year-round (possibly because the local high school is just up the hill). Kealia is not generally a great beach for swimming or snorkeling. The waters are usually rough and the waves crumbly because of an onshore break (no protecting reef) and northeasterly trade winds. A scenic lookout on the southern end, accessed off the highway, is a superb location for saluting the morning sunrise or spotting whales during winter. A level dirt road follows the coastline north and is one of the most scenic coastal trails on the island for walking, running, and biking. A local family opened a snack and surf shop across the highway, perfect for a beach break or to rent boards. The toilets here are the portable kind, by the lifeguard stand.
