Enjoy Kauna’oa Bay, but be mindful of ocean conditions. Check flags and signs at beach entrances for safety information. Always enter the water only when Beach Attendants are on duty.

Please read the signs and observe the flags each day. In the event you do not see any warnings, contact a Beach Attendant to confirm water conditions.
