Manini'owali Beach at Kua Bay, part of Kekaha Kai State Park, is another of the very pretty Hawaii Big Island beaches, with fine white sand that slopes gently to the beautiful clear turquoise water. The swimming here is awesome when the ocean is calm, and there can be some decent snorkeling along the rocky outcroppings at either end of the beach.

During certain times of the year, particularly the summer months, the beautiful soft sand covers the entire beach from north to south. More lava rocks become exposed in the winter months as sand is carried out with the surf. Be aware of those rocks in the shallows when boogie boarding or body surfing. This is a good place to have water shoes to navigate across the rocks.
Manini'owali Beach is one of the nicer Big Island beaches that is easy to reach from Kailua-Kona. You can practically drive right to the beach, and some days it seems everyone on the Big Island knows it! If you arrive later in the day, parking can be a little crazy, especially on weekends. As you approach the beach you may see cars lined up down the road. You may have to walk down the road a bit but don't worry; there's plenty of room on the beach!

There is a rocky shoreline trail at the northern end of the beach that leads to another of our favorite Hawaii beaches, spectacular Kikaua Beach to the north. The trail winds through a lava field and across a coral beach less than a mile to scenic Kikaua Point.

Big Family Big Island Vacation Home

"We brought our whole family of 14 with ages 7-70 here to celebrate our 50 years of marriage and everyone had a wonderful, so good, beautiful time. The house was perfect for a large group. We cooked almost every night in the large gourmet kitchen with all the stylish serving dishes, small appliances including a kitchen aid mixer, and a double oven. We even hired a chef they recommended for the last night to celebrate in style- Kylee! You have a great place for kids, with a hot tub, pool and basketball court. They even used the work out room and weights several times with Uncles and dads assisting. Everyone could watch movies up stairs in the evenings. With the gate it's very secure and parked 3-4 vehicles easily in driveway. The view was amazing and even in the rain the kids enjoyed the pool! I highly recommend this place. It can be hot down on the beach but it's beautifully cool up high. On clear evenings the sunset is fantastic. It was close to hiking, and not far to airport or town. We would come back anytime! Any issues you might encounter, the owner quickly responds. What a great VRBO!"

"This place is amazing. Modern and beautiful. The lanai was amazing. Loved this beautiful place. We could hear the upstairs tenants walking around late at night, but that was minor. It’s like a rainforest getaway with beautiful views. "

Wonderful place for our family vacation

"The house was close to the airport (a plus since we had early flights out), near the beaches and the downtown area, and about a half-hour drive to resort golf courses. It was clean and had a spacious, open floor plan for gathering. We had ample room for meal prep, serving, and eating at the roomy counter with barstools. Seating in the living area was comfy and adequate. There were three bedrooms, a bed, and a pull-out sofa for plenty of sleeping areas. Three screened sliding doors, windows, and ceiling fans kept the house cool and comfortable. The outdoor shower helped keep sand from getting into the house after trips to the beach. The big patio had long tables and chairs for dining al fresco and a comfy rattan seating space. The BBQ area was another small gathering place with a table and rattan benches, so the cook wasn't left out of the fun. The pool was a nice alternative to the beach when we wanted to have water fun without sand or leaving the house. We appreciated the washer and dryer. Beach towels, pool toys, and sunblock were available, too. Janie, the host, was friendly, responsive, and professional, and made our stay smooth and easy. If you plan to visit Kona, we highly recommend this property for spacious, comfortable, and relaxing lodging."
