Originally the north side was a transportation dock for steamers when the tiny plantation town of Kealia actually existed, and traditionally, ancient Hawaiians would gather salt from the flats as it formed. Today, only the ruins of the dock remain and salt is actually mined in larger industrial operations across the highway.
Kealia Beach itself stretches its lazy white sands for a long ½ mile with perfect conditions for experienced boogie boarding or surfing in the summer months, and swimming and wading only when the surf is calm. There are no nearby services or facilities, so this is purely for the self-sufficient.
