Guide
Good to know
See sea turtles in shallow water
Visitors regularly spot sea turtles just yards offshore in the surf during their visits.
Rent a 4x4 vehicle
The final stretch to the beach requires high-clearance off-road driving through loose sand where regular vehicles get stuck.
Check weather and tide first
High winds are common and can make the hike miserable.
Expect a long hike from parking
If your rental company restricts off-road driving, the walk from the end of Keomuku Road takes up.
