Kona-Kohala Remote and Secret Beaches, Big Island Hawaii
I will be traveling to the West side of the Big Island slightly north of Kona this coming January. Do you recommend any remote less crowded beaches to go too?
I have hiked from Hwy 19 to a couple of secluded beaches off of the beaten path. Is this safe to do?
It is 100% safe to do., in my opinion. People do it all the time. There is very little person on person crime here.
You could go to Maumae Beach through the Mauna Kea Beach hotel. The entrance station guard will give you a map. It’s a beautiful beach. There is Kiholo Bay and Beach 69 or Waialea Beach. the trailhead is by the 71 mile marker. Also try Makalawena, which you walk to from a trail at Kona Coast state Park. about 20 minutes.
Have a great time!
