Waikoloa Beach

The beach stretches along the Kohala Coast with white sand and tide pools, bordered by black volcanic rocks and coral formations at the shoreline.

Ancient Hawaiians constructed an extensive network of fishponds near the beach, including the Kuʻualiʻi and Kahapapa ponds for sustainable aquaculture practices.

The Ala Kahakai coastal trail connects multiple archaeological sites, including a field containing 30,000 petroglyphs carved by native Hawaiians into lava rocks.

The beach area includes restroom facilities, picnic pavilions, lifeguard services, and multiple access points along Puako Beach Drive for water activities.

Anchialine ponds near the beach contain a mixture of fresh spring water and seawater, creating specialized habitats for native marine species.
