Kohanaiki Beach Park (Pine Trees)

This is a working community beach for Kona families, not a tourist destination — quieter visitor presence is appreciated. Pack out trash beyond what fits in park bins. No lifeguard; assess conditions before entering the water, and note that swimming options are limited because the shoreline is mostly rocky. Camping requires a Hawaiʻi County permit booked in advance through the county parks reservation system. Do not confuse the public beach park with the adjacent Kohanaiki private community and golf club; the public access road is separate from the gated residential entrance.
