Kolekole Beach Park, County park in Hawaii, United States
The park stretches along Kolekole Stream where it meets the ocean, featuring black sand beaches and large round lava boulders under a tall highway bridge.
Following the 1946 tsunami that destroyed railroad infrastructure, the county acquired and rebuilt the bridge, transforming it from a sugarcane railway into an automobile crossing.
The name Kolekole translates from Hawaiian language to mean raw or scarred, reflecting the natural characteristics of this coastal area.
Visitors can access picnic areas with barbecue grills, portable toilets, and camping facilities through permits, but no drinking water is available on site.
A waterfall from Kaahakini Stream drops directly into Kolekole Stream near the ocean, creating a natural intersection of fresh and salt water.
