Yes, all or almost all of the Hawaiian islands have rural beaches. The Black Sand beach on the Big Island is definitely in the boonies.
My favorite Big Island beach was Richardson's. It was only about a mile from downtown Hilo, but there was nothing commercial anywhere near it. Great place to swim. It had almost no sand though, being what the Hawaiians term a Beach Park.
Plenty of area to lay on the grass, but don't do it under the coconut trees! If one falls on your head they may as well bury you under that tree. To their credit, they have plenty of signs on the trees warning you about laying under them. Unfortunately, the signs are so small you have to go under the trees to see what they say. Sorta defeats the whole purpose, which is the kind of thing you run into every day in Hawaii.
