Surf Banyons

Banyons - Kailua-Kona, Big Island Banyons features a reef break with both right and left waves, characterized by hollow, ledgey sections over a sharp coral bottom. The spot works best at mid to high tide and is easily accessible, located right in front of the Banyon tree and the Kona Bali Kai condos, with instant access within 5 minutes. This popular surf destination attracts a mix of locals and visitors, especially when the waves reach chest height or more. The atmosphere can be competitive, so respect and humility are essential. While the environment is pristine, be cautious of urchins and the local vibe. The uneven reef bottom requires attention, and all types of surfboards are welcome. Expect a crowded lineup on weekends, but during the week, you may find fewer surfers, making it a fun spot to enjoy the waves.
