Formation

The beach was formed in a 1955 lava flow.[2] There is a point of rocks on one end of the beach that marks where the flow ended.

Nudity

Kehena Beach is listed on many websites and guide books as clothing-option.[3] Though nudity at the beach has been documented,[4] nude beaches are not legal in Hawaii[5] and officers have written citations for nudity at Kehena beach.[6]
