As boring as Hilo (and the Big Island in general) is, this black sand beach is phenomenal. What a pleasant surprise. The directions to get to the beach, as described above, are correct and accurate. I used them to get there. There is, however, a steep climb down to the beach. Once you there, though.... truly amazing. Clean, black sand, ruff surf and peaceful. Yes, there is nudity and I guess you can do naught things there, but enjoy the black sand and the view. Most people don't get a chance to experience a place like Kahena Beach. Enjoy it!

We love this beach, and yes we do have the Vacation Rental right across from it, The Bali Cottage at Kehena Beach. Please vsit our website when you can become part of our Ohana. http://www.thebalicottage.com. Mahalo!

Wow this is truly a peaceful place to hang out in the nude. Lots of hot bods soaking up sunshine and body surfin'. Do not miss this gem if you are in the east side of da Big Island!

Wonderful black sand, great waves and nude men in the surf! Always fun.

Mile marker 19 is gone or removed but fing the parking terrace with the rock barrier then walk a few yards to the left. The path is there. Well worth the search!

Wonderful gay friendly beach that has spinner dolphins which you can swim with. Drumming on Sundays..can get wild. Mondays seems to have the most gay people. Wave can be strong, but it's a well worth a trip.
