Kehena Beach (Dolphin Beach) is located in the Puna district (Hilo side) of the Big Island of Hawaii off of Highway 137 near the 19 mile marker.

This is a well shaded black sand beach protected by steep cliffs and tall trees. Swimming can often be hazardous due to rough current and high waves. It is a popular beach for local residents.
