Kepuhi Beach is a stretch of rocky and sandy coastline along the western shore of Moloka'i. 

Sandwiched on the north end by a spacious resort grounds and to the south by the Kaiaka bluff which was once the site of a heiau, the narrow strand of beach fronts turquoise waters, with few signs of any other types of development aside from the resort.

Kepuhi lies on a quiet section of the island and is reachable by paved roads. A parking lot sits above the south end of the beach, with a short flight of stairs descending down to the shore. 

While the ocean is picturesque here, the rocky coastline creates shorebreaks, which can combine with the strong currents here making the beach only good for expert swimmers and surfers. Other nearby beaches have better conditions for the casual swimmer.

There are no amenities of any kind located at the beach beyond the resort which is reserved for guests.

Visitors can also hike up to the heiau site atop Kaiaka Rock on the trail that begins beside the parking area.
