Kua Bay Beach Park in The Big Island Hawaii

Maniniowali beach, known primarily as Kua Bay has an illustrious reputation on the Big Island for its pristine white sand and clear blue green water. At one time it was one among a list of beaches that could only be accessed by a 4 Wheel Drive vehicle or by walking down the rough lava rock road to its shore. It was once visited by many locals looking for a quite oasis, free from the hordes of tourists that crowd the few sandy beaches in Kona.
