The County of Hawai'i had placed O'oma Beach near the top of land it was trying to acquire for years to preserve from commercial development. The county purchased the beach land in 2014 and much effort has been made to rehabilitate it to its natural state

The roads to access the beach are sand and gravel, however the entrance on the north is very steep terrain, requiring most visitors to enter on foot from this side.
