If you’re searching for a beach with excellent swimming, great snorkeling and crystalline brilliant clarity, Kukio Beach is probably not the beach for you. Located just north of the small cove at Kikaua Point, Kukio Beach unfortunately is riddled with numerous near-shore rocks which make entry into the water very difficult on even the calmest of days and downright dangerous when the ocean swells are generated. Murky conditions also persist here so better choices could be made for your day’s beach outing. In addition, the private and exclusive resort and golf clubs in the area are in charge of access to this beach and consequently regulate access to usually about twenty-five cars at any given time. The access points to the beach here are not the most user friendly requiring you to haul your beach gear distances that do not make the “lug” desirable and upon arrival at your beach destination it turns out not to be particularly desirable either.
