}}Kekaha Kai State Park, formerly known as Kona Coast State Park, is a beach park located along the north Kona coast on the island of Hawai{{okina}}i. The main beach areas are Manini{{okina}}owali Bay (Kua Bay), Makalawena beach at Pu{{okina}}u Ali{{okina}}i Bay, and Mahai{{okina}}ula Bay. The park's name originates from the Hawaiian language words ke kaha kai which translate to "the shore line" in English.[2]

Park sections

The northern section of the park is on Manini{{okina}}owali Bay located at coordinates {{coord |19|48|37|N| 156|0|23|W| type:landmark_region:US-HI |display=inline |name=Kua Bay}}. This beach area is popularly called Kua Bay since it is easier to pronounce.[3] A paved road {{convert|2.6|mi|km|abbr=on}} north of Kona International Airport leads to the beach.[4]

The wetland area behind Makalawena beach[5] was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1972.[6] The marsh is known as {{okina}}Ōpae{{okina}}ula Pond (Hawaiian for "red shrimp") and was the site of a small fishing village that was wiped out in the 1946 tsunami.[7] The {{convert|12|acre|ha|abbr=on}} of wetland provide one of the last remaining nesting grounds of the āe{{okina}}o (Hawaiian stilt, Himantopus mexicanus knudseni), the {{okina}}alae ke{{okina}}oke{{okina}}o (Hawaiian coot, Fulica alai),[8] and the only known breeding area for the {{okina}}auku{{okina}}u (black-crowned night heron, Nycticorax nycticorax hoactli) in Hawaii.[6] The pond is located at coordinates {{coord |19|47|32|N| 156|1|31|W| type:landmark_region:US-HI |display=inline |name=ʻŌpaeʻula Pond}} in the privately owned area between the two sections of the state park.

Mahai{{okina}}ula Bay is accessed by an unpaved lava road which heads west off the main highway a short distance north of the airport.[4] The Mahai{{okina}}ula section is located at coordinates {{coord |19|46|56|N| 156|2|13|W| type:landmark_region:US-HI |display=inline |name=Mahaiʻula Bay}} and has a sandy beach with a picnic area.[1]

A {{convert|4.5|mi|km|abbr=on|adj=on}} section of the historic Ala Kahakai coastal trail connects Mahai{{okina}}ula and Kua Bay. A hike up Pu{{okina}}u Ku{{okina}}ili offers a wide view of the coastline from the summit of the {{convert|342|ft|m|abbr=on|adj=mid|-high}} cinder cone.[1]

The park is open daily from 8:00 am – 7:00 pm.[1]
