Hawaiian Beaches
Directions

Hawaiian Beaches is a residential subdivision located along the rugged Puna coastline on Hawaii's Big Island. While the area features scenic shoreline vistas and small local parks, it consists of lava cliffs and rocky coasts rather than sandy swimming beaches. Visitors can stop by to enjoy peaceful ocean views, watch crashing waves, and spot sea turtles along the shore.

Quick tip: Head to nearby Waiakahi'ula Beach Park for a grassy spot to safely watch waves crashing against the rocky cliffs and spot wildlife.
