OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Not as
famous as the neighboring beaches of Waimea
Bay and Ehukai, this beach is popular with
area locals during the summer when the
conditions are calm and serene. The beach
rarely attracts many tourists who prefer the
more well-known beaches in the area, so
Kewaena is a wonderful out-of-the-way spot
locals enjoy. During the summer, enjoy
swimming or snorkeling, but caution is
suggested for divers due to submerged rocks.
During the winter, the conditions can be
extremely hazardous—even for experienced
surfers—during small heights and when the
third reef surf heights start exceeding
thirty feet.
Overlooks the famous surf site "Off-
the-Wall", also known as "Kodak Reef", to
the North and to the South, the equally
dangerous "Log Cabins" surf site. |

north on the H2 to Wahiawa. In Wahiawa
follow Highway 80, which becomes Highway 99
and the Kamehameha Highway. Before reaching
Haleiwa the Kamehameha Highway makes a sharp
northward turn. Continue to follow this
highway along the northern shore of the
island. Kewaena Beach lies between Ehukai
Beach Park and Waimea Bay Beach Park. |

While
Hawaii's beaches can bring much enjoyment,
it is always a good practice to use common
sense while visiting them. Please be aware
of the wave & wind conditions before going
into the water. Mornings are usually best
for swimming, snorkeling or diving. Have
respect for the strength of the waves and be
aware that high surf can come up at any
time. NEVER turn your back to the ocean.
Be careful when exploring any rocky
shorelines. Waves can crash on the rocks and
knock you over easily, and the rocks may
also be sharp when walking on them.
When snorkeling or scuba diving, please have
respect for ocean life, and remember that
the coral reef is alive too. Avoid standing
on or touching if at all possible. |
