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.

If there is any kind of swell at the entry and the exit will be especially tough. Gloves are highly recommended since every available hole has urchins in them.  Pass this spot up and go to Place of Refuge.
