A paved county shoreline path on the Coconut Coast for walking, running, biking and skating. The County describes the completed stretch as about 8 miles from Lydgate Beach Park north to Kuna Bay, part of a planned 17-mile route between Anahola and Nāwiliwili.
Why we love it
It’s the easiest way to slow down on the east side. Rent a cruiser in Kapaʻa and ride past beaches, old plantation landings and, in winter, spouting whales.
What to expect
The path is flat, wide and paved, hugging the coast with ocean views most of the way. The prettiest section runs north of Kapaʻa past Keālia Beach toward the rocky Ahihi Point area. Bike rental shops sit along the route in Kapaʻa, and there are restrooms at the beach parks along the way. Expect sun and wind with little shade, especially on the northern stretch. Keep right, signal when passing, and yield to walkers. From the shoreline in winter, you can sometimes see humpback whales.
