Kahena Beach
Address:
Hawaii, Hawaii, USA
Category: C/O Beaches
Kahena Beach is the off spring of the 1955 lava flow. It is 24 miles south of Hilo and is nestled between Kapoho and Kalapana.
On the lush eastern side of the island is a beautiful unofficial clothing-optional beach. A short but steep trail down from the highway leads to the beach back dropped by a vine-covered lava rock cliff. There are lots of coconut & ironwood trees to offer shade. On Sundays there’s a drum circle in the afternoon with dancers & fun for all. Many times a large pod of dolphins appears & people swim out among them. Between December & May whales are often sighted. There have never been any problems with the authorities.
