Fodor's Review:

A 1.5-mi narrow, bumpy gravel road leads off Highway 19 to this recently developed beach park. Mahaiula is to the south while Kaelehuluhulu is to the north. The wide expanse of good sandy beach provides a lot of space here, so it doesn't feel crowded. There are high sand dunes and tidal pools for snorkeling and swimming. The sand is a salt and pepper mix of golden and black lava grains and pebbles. Caution is advised for rough surf and strong currents. You can hike along a historic 4½-mi trail from one beach to the other, but be prepared for the heat and bring lots of drinking water.
