Rarely Breaks - Hung here in the 70's and 80's as a kid. Still go there to hang every once in a while, but sometimes weird druggy/moke vibe at the park close by. however, beach usually cool, good for small kids to play in water when the sand is in. Sometimes when sand is in it is good for body womping or sponge. Really rare that it even breaks, let alone worth passing up other spots. Very narrow W/SW swell window. Couple spots close by mo' betta. Like Maninis across from the dock, or Ke-Ei down the road. Be respectful out at Ke-ei though.

directions - Napoopoo Beach Park
Until Recently, Napoopoo had a great sandy beach. But strong winter swells have removed the sand and left it rocky. It is still suitable for great snorkeling, as Napoopoo also borders Kealakeua Bay. From here you can swim to the Captain Cook Monument, the point were natives slayedCook as he was attempting to return to the island.
To reach Napoopoo Beach Park, take the belt highway (11) south to the town ofCaptain Cook. After passing the Trail Rides on the left, look on the right forthe turnoff to Napoopoo. Follow the windy road down toward the shore, makinga right turn where straight would wind back toward the highway. At the shorethe road Tees. Take a right turn and another 100 yards brings you to the beachpark. If you were to take a left, you would follow a narrow road which goes south along the shore and eventually winds up at the City of Refuge.
