Prior to his election as Lieutenant Governor, Kealoha served a number of years as a legislator on Hawaii island, distinguishing himself as a respected leader.

The area right in front of the lifeguard tower tends to be some of the warmest due to the soft, sandy bottom which helps to heat the water column.

Signs are located at the parking lot entrance that note local kinds of fish, turtle (honu), urchin and marine invertebrates that may be seen.

Popular water activities at Kealoha include swimming, snorkeling, surfing, pole fishing and spearfishing.

This name refers to the drupe shells, whose snails were commonly eaten and found throughout the Hawaiian Islands in shallow, rocky areas.
