Keahou, Hawaii

The Keauhou Boat Ramp provides convenient water access to the Pacific Ocean for kayakers, canoeists, and small boat owners in the Kona region of Hawaii's Big Island. This double-lane, 30-foot-wide launch ramp offers a stable platform for launching and retrieving vessels, with a nearby pier, vessel washdown area, and parking available.

The ramp's location near popular snorkeling and dive sites makes it a popular departure point for tour boats, kayaks, and outrigger canoes. Paddlers can explore the scenic coastline and access nearby recreation areas like Pu'uhonua O Hōnaunau National Historical Park and Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park. Boaters should be aware of the open ocean conditions and plan accordingly. This access site is maintained by the Hawaii Department of Land & Natural Resources Division of Boating & Ocean Recreation.
