Charley Young Beach
This secluded 3-acre park at the north end of Kam I sits off the
main drag in a residential area. The sand is soft and smooth, with a gentle
slope into the ocean. A cloister of lava rocks shelters the beach from heavy
afternoon winds, making this a mellow spot to laze around. The usually gentle
waves make for good swimming, and you'll find good snorkeling along the rocks on
the north end. Portable toilets are on-site.
