Ke'Ei Beach

The parking at this beach is very limited, and SUVs are more suitable than sedans. Initially, Google maps led us to a gate that was marked as a private road. However, upon reviewing the map again, we found that the best way to reach this beach is via Ke'Ei road. When we went, the road was drivable with a sedan, but it is important to drive cautiously and be mindful of pull-off spots when other vehicles are leaving this narrow road. You will need to park a bit away from the beach entrance and walk for a few minutes on Ke'Ei Rd, passing some residential properties. While we were there, we noticed signage indicating private property boundaries and the last designated parking area. Unfortunately, there are no restrooms available. The beach itself has a sandy shore, but the waters are mostly rocky. It is highly recommended to wear water shoes. The snorkeling experience here is suitable for intermediate level, as there are sea urchins present, even near the shore. It is crucial to be extra careful not to step on new coral growth and to begin snorkeling within the first 5-10 feet from the shore. We observed a cleared lane in the water that a family with children was using near the beginning of the beach, which seemed to extend about 25 yards. There is an abundance of fish and reef to explore, but it is important to keep a safe distance from sea turtles. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful beach, which had a more secluded and local atmosphere due to its challenging accessibility.

This place is perfect for cliff jumping or heading down to the sandy section for families with young children and sunbathing.

The car may face some difficulty on the road to the village, but the sandy beach is truly delightful and pleasantly uncrowded.

The beach is really nice. The road leading to it is a bit rough, but we managed to reach it in a sedan. It's definitely worth the walk to get to the sandy area. The surf and boogie board section is quite spacious.

This is one of my preferred locations on the island. The parking is quite limited, with only around 10-15 spots available. It has a very authentic local atmosphere, and the offroad stretch leading to the beach is quite long, so it's important to consider the type of car you're driving. However, there are usually only a few people around, and the breakers tend to create calm waters most of the time. There is also bigger surf closer to the breakers further out.
