Ka‘Ūpūlehu Beach

Located along the Kona-Kohala coast, Ka‘ūpūlehu Beach features a stunning mix of white sand, black lava rock formations, and clear ocean waters fronting the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. While the beachfront offers beautiful sunset views and calm spots for wading or snorkeling, much of the water entry can be rocky. Public access to the beach is guaranteed, though non-resort guests must obtain a pass at the resort security gate.
