The Old Kona Airport beach is a popular weekend relaxation spot for the locals. But not to worry! There is plenty of parking on the old asphalt runway that stretches the length of the beach.

Directions: The entrance is a very short drive, just North of Kailua. Drive to the North end of Kuakini Road just a mile or so out of town, take a left and follow the road toward the ocean until you reach the entrance.

Over the years, I've probably made this dive 50 plus times and, except one when the swell was up and I ended up getting seriously urchined on entry, it's always good. Went North to the 3rd boat bouy and listened to the whales. Big dark shape cruised in from the blue. 15 ft Tiger shark. Definely made the dive one to remember.
