The Hawaiian Islands are home to 750 miles of stunning coastline — putting the Aloha State behind Alaska, Florida, and California when it comes to coastline length. And while among that coastline you will find countless rock formations and sea cliffs, the beaches are what truly matters. On Oahu alone, there are more than 125 different beaches! And while many of Hawaii’s beaches offer miles and miles of fine, white sand, Ke Iki Beach is known for the sea glass you might find along the shore.
Nestled on the north shore of Oahu just miles from many of the world’s most famous surf destinations, Ke Iki Beach is an underrated slice of paradise just waiting to be discovered.
Featuring crystalline turquoise waters, tide pools, plenty of space to spread out, and sea glass, Ke Iki Beach is a must-visit for beachcombers.
The shore break at Ke Iki Beach can be intense, but that’s exactly what beachcombers are looking for, as the crashing waves bring saltwater-smoothed shards of glass to shore.
Bring a picnic to enjoy as well as a vessel to collect your sea glass and enjoy a picturesque Hawaiian day hunting for sea glass and other tiny treasures - like shells and bits of coral.
From clear and brown to shades of green and blue, each piece of sea glass you find at Ke Iki beach is as unique as this stretch of sand itself.
If you can, make time to stay for sunset. As with many north shore beaches, the sunsets witnessed from Ke Iki Beach are truly second to none.
Whether you're an active collector of sea glass or simply want to change up your beach day routine, Ke Iki is a natural oasis sure to impress.
