We visited Waikoloa during May and enjoyed the beach. Went there to see the turtles and was not disappointed; we saw several on each of two visits. Great place to snorkel. Not crowded at that time of year. Nice shaded beach on side near new Lava Lava Club. More

There are lounge chairs laying around. We could walk 15 feet or more out and still be waist high! Our 5 year old loved it! More
