Mauna Kea Beach Activities

Mauna Kea Resort sits on one of the few white sand beaches on the Kohala Coast – Kauna’oa Bay. Unlike most beaches on the island, which are formed from rough coral or lava, the sand here is soft silica. It’s no wonder Mauna Kea’s beaches have been named among the ‘Top Beaches in America’.
