Kehena Beach
Black sand beach!
Due to its secluded nature this beach is often nude. Monday has been nicknamed "Gay Day." WARNING: While sunbathing here is great, this is an often challenging place to swim - use utmost caution! Also, black sand is much hotter than white sand, so don't plan on going barefoot. Don't leave valuables in car. DIRECTIONS: About 30 minutes south of Hilo. Find it at Highway 137 near mile marker 19 (near the phone booth). It's one mile from Kalani Eco-Resort. Then climb down the lava rock trail to the beach.

Amazing
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!

Beautiful Clothing Optional Black Sand Beach
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.
