If you want to drive, take unmarked road between mile markers 88 and 89. I have little 4 wd experience w me driving (have always had someone driving for me hah), but I'm adventurous and went for it. So glad I did because I was rewarded w the beach of a lifetime (and sunburn to match).

One of the most beautiful beaches I have ever been to. Complete paradise. The drive in is about a mile but takes 30 minutes as you are driving on crushed lava rock. Then a 15 minute hike past the red house. Well worth the effort! An amazing pristine beach awaits those who choose to get to the beach. Tip: Gates... More

Most definitely worth the effort to find these 3 sandy beaches. The unimproved road is slow going but easy in our rented Chrysler 200. (Although I might not have taken my own car...) Obviously no lifeguard but I felt kids were OK in the waves - no big current on our trip. It's 25 minutes walk from the end of... More

This beach is definitely worth the bumpy drive in and then the 15 minute hike over lava rock! It is truly breathtaking - beautifully colored waters and the white sand is like no other. It's like walking on marshmallows! If you like a less crowded spot, this is a great location. There were very few swimmers! We LOVED it!

First off, getting to this beach is tricky from the highway because there are no signs. You just have to watch out for the turn off in between mile marker 90 and 91. From here goes the bumpiest road I have ever driven on in my entire life. A 4X4 is ideal on this type of road but my compact... More

This is a beautiful beach known to locals. One way in you can do in your rental car, but will have to go slow on rough unimproved road. Then hike about 20 minutes on a long rough lava rock " sort of" trail. Water in beautiful turquoise blue. Sand is white and clean. We came on a Friday in January... More

if you make the trek, pop your umbrella/tent and stay all day...it's amazing and they're freshwater pools back in the trees to rinse off the saltwater WEAR SHOES with hard soles to avoid the huge stickers around trees!!! Waves break either north or south, you'll need to just look once you get there...

It took about an hour to walk from the road to this beach -- but it was worth it. Locals with large 4 wheel drives do drive to the beach -- but even if you do rent an off road vehicle -- I don't recommend driving this. It's a long walk -- but the beach is so amazingly beautiful that... More

We had read somewhere else that the road had been recently paved. Unfortunately this is not accurate. The 1.2 mile drive from main road is slow and very bumpy. SUV is highly recommended. After the 30 min drive we realized we would need to walk about another mile to the beautiful pristine beach we had read about. With 4 kids... More
