Keauhou Bay

Where: South Kona, island of Hawaiʻi
Activities: Kayaking, SUP, fishing
Amenities: Parking, restrooms, boat ramp

Keauhou’s small boat ramp and proximity to popular snorkeling areas, make it the perfect place for several snorkel cruises and dive boats to depart from. Not recommended for swimming or snorkeling due to fishing and tour boat traffic. Fishing is allowed. 

At night, the area attracts manta rays that feed on microscopic plankton. To really see manta rays up close and personal, go on a snorkeling or diving excursion at night and swim with the rays. Tours depart from various locations in Kona.

Please note: Hawaiʻi's ocean and beach conditions are as unique as the islands themselves.

Use the hazard signs on HIOCEANSAFETY.COM as well to quickly assess conditions and help you find the appropriate beach for your visit.
