Manini Beach

Manini Beach is a small beach at the southern end of the Kealakekua Bay Marine Life Conservation District.

The beach is rocky shoreline perched over the ocean-facing sea with a few sandy spots. Owing to its sporadic and not immediately visible access points and the short but rocky walk to reach the water, along with the waters here being rough and over sharp stone formations, the beach here is not a popular one and will likely have few visitors aside from locals homeowners and vacation rentals.

The main attraction here is the kayak rental company at the end of Kahauloa Road. From here, visitors can launch into the bay and make the short open water paddle over into Kealakekua Bay and over to the Captain Cook Monument if they're looking to get some distance paddling in. 

Parking for Manini Beach is on street, however is extremely limited and fills up quickly. In general, parking and water access is more readily available at nearby Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park.

There are no bathrooms, water or amenities of any kind at Manini Beach. 

Kayak rentals here can be coordinated through Islander Kayak Rentals at 808-209-1639
