Secluded, black sand beach located behind a private community in Waikoloa. Access is limited to a small number of vehicles at one time. The sand gets very hot during the day, so be sure to take water socks or wear your slippers (flip-flops). Not a lot of breaking waves, so it's relatively calm. About 35 minutes north of Kona town.
