The listed location sits on the shoreline itself, so there is no walk to speak of once you are out of the car.
Does Kapalaoa Beach have restrooms?
No restrooms are mapped within 600 m on OpenStreetMap. That means nobody has mapped any, which is not the same as there being none.
Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
