Kahalu’u Beach
Posted on August 6, 2008
Kahaluu Beach on the Big Island of Hawaii, is well visited because of the calm, protected waters - perfect for families and kids. Because of its popularity, parking can be hard to find, so come early!
The shallow, clear waters are abundant with sea life. Shady trees surround this beautiful sandy beach. Facilities include a pavilion, rest rooms, showers, a lifeguard tower, and limited parking.
This beach is baby stroller accessible. Concession stands and beach rental gear stores are located nearby. A narrow path takes you directly to the Resort’s Beach Bar & Grill, which serves sandwiches and plate lunches.
Young kids will love to play in the sand and the shallow water as sea turtles crawl up on the beach next to them. Older kids and teenagers will enjoy the wonderful snorkeling.
Kahalu’u Beach is the most popular snorkeling beach on the Island of Hawaii with good reason. It is well protected from the open ocean by a seawall. The reef is also protected against commercial aquarium fishing.
Adjacent to Kahalu’u Beach is St. Peter’s Church, locally know as “The Little Blue Church”; it is the most photographed church in the State of Hawaii.
