Kohanaiki Beach Park sits directly on the coastline north of Kailua-Kona, operating as a county-managed facility where campers wake up steps from white sand and surf breaks. Known locally as Pine Tree surfing beach, the site attracts surfers but offers limited swimming conditions due to wave action. Tidepools at one end provide exploration opportunities during low tide.
The campground requires advance reservations despite operating on a first-come, first-served basis for site selection. Gates close at 9 PM nightly. Clean restroom facilities with showers sit within walking distance of camping areas, though reviewers note the bathrooms require a short trek from some sites. The park tends to fill up quickly, particularly during holiday weekends, so early booking proves essential for securing spots at this beachfront location.
