Little black sand beach, great snorkeling, lots of surfers out there, and an awesome lava tide pool area. We saw 7 green sea turtles lounging in one of the pools.Full review by darbjustic

Not far and yes but they are about 45-60 minutes away by car. Kaimu has one you can hike to but it's no good for swimming, although it does have a bar and food and if you go Wednesday nights there is a big market and live music. If you want to hang out on a beach and swim, Kehena is a large beach great for swimming but I do recommend swim shoes of some sort and you may see some naked hippies. Both beaches are in the same area Kaimu is right by Kalapana and Kehena is along the ocean heading to Seaview from Kaimu. Aloha!

There may be a local bus to Richardson' beach. But I had not seen one, where as we saw many tour buses that go there for an hour to see the turtles. Then the tour bus leaves for another site, as we had seen the same names tour busses in several sites, e.g., Rainbow Falls, etc. We saw what goes on as our Lanai , or house large covered porch faces the beach, and we spend much time there, the parking lot is diagonally in our view. Try the Internet. Best of luck Mimi g
