Kona Harbor Beach

1comment

Great swimming, no undertow, shallow, sea turtles, great sun, close to Kona. Nudity not permitted, but once the park ranger makes his/her rounds, then many a suit comes off. Doesn't hurt to bring a pair of binoculars to keep an eye out for the ranger.

Best time
10:00 am 'til dark
Crowd
Local gays, local straights, lots of gay tourists.
Watch out
The park rangers will give a warning first offense of nudity.

The guide

Where exactly

This is the beach in the E Komo Mai area, administered by the National Park Service. It's 3 miles north of Kailua. The parking area (N19 40.269 W156 01.419) is on the north side of the Honokohau small boat harbor. As you walk in on the trail, when you come to a Y, bear right. In a bit there'll be a big compost toilet that is often very active, especially late in the afternoon, when guys don't want to take the time to go all the way out the beach.

Cruisiest spot: Far down the beach as possible.

When to go

10:00 am 'til dark

Etiquette

Wear a thong, lie on a towel near a bush or brush line. Tops do the cruising, eye contact then walk into the brush, will be automatic.

Nudity: Nudity now outlawed.

Safety

The park rangers will give a warning first offense of nudity. Second offense will get you a ticket. They only make one round a day, sometimes skipping days.

Guys lie in small brush cutouts along beach. Guys cruising by often double back to lagoon marsh side of brush and wait to see if you're interested. If beach is over-populated, guys looking for action often walk beyond far point on raised lava walkway to tunnel of trees and brush beyond. Beach and shore "break" are also favorite hangouts for large green sea turtles. No running into the water here -- those large underwater rocks are moving around.
