Hikes in Kona - Kiholo Bay (south end)



There is public access to Kiholo Bay off Queen Kaahumanu Highway at about the 83 mile marker. At the bottom of the hill, go to the left, not straight ahead. At the far south end of the area you can drive to, there's a trail where the grey sand meets the 1800 a'a flow.




The trail crosses the a'a to a small secluded beach, a larger secluded beach with Luahine Pond
behind it, and, after crossing a couple miles of a'a, it reaches KaLaeMano (shark point), the subject of this 2000 Hawaii Supreme Court case.
