Most visitors to Big Island have heard of Kealakekua Bay, the beautiful marine sanctuary located in South Kona where Captain James Cook first stepped foot on the Island of Hawaiʻi. However just south of Kealakekua Bay is a lesser known beach visited primarily by local fisherman and surfers. Keʻei Beach is a small, secluded cove unfamiliar to most visitors. Many locals refer to it as one of the best-kept secrets on the Kona coastline.
