Pahoehoe Beach Park

Kailua-Kona


This little beach park is about seven parts 'park' and three parts 'beach'; the beach itself is small and studded with more coral rubble than sand. With that said, a seawall keeps out big waves and there's shade for picnics, and nothing makes a picnic better than an oceanfront view. Popular as a spot for yoga classes and with casual fishermen.
