Kua Bay
- Address: Hwy. 19, north of mile marker 88, HI
- Category: Beaches
- Location: Kohala Coast
Fodor's Review:
Remoteness does have its merits at this lovely beach, the northernmost beach in the stretch of coast that comprises Kekaha Kai State Park. At one time you had to hike over a few miles of unmarked, rocky trail to get here, which kept many people out. Now, a newly paved road leads to Kua Bay, and while locals are pretty unhappy about it, this beach is still uncrowded compared to others. It's easy to understand why area residents would be so protective. This is one of the most beautiful bays you will ever see -- the water is crystal clear, deep aquamarine, and peaceful in summer. Rocky shores on either side keep the beach from getting too windy in the afternoon. The surf here can get very rough in winter.
