Absolutely loved this beach, I think I liked it even better than Hapuna. The water went from azure to aqua to turquoise, just stunning. Swam with a young sea turtle just going about his business.

Up until last Thursday afternoon, Hapuna Beach had been my favorite Big Island beach, hands down. Then I took the advice of Megan at Aloha Toe Rings at the Kona Inn Shopping Center, and wandered down the access road directly opposite the sign for the West Hawaii Veterans Cemetery out on Hwy 19. Thankfully, this is now a paved road.... More

next to the Four Seasons Resort where we stayed. Water was crystal blue, calm, clean and beach not overly crowded with ease of access. A good day for surfers which we could see to the left in South direction.

We live close to the Jersey shore and have been to beaches in the outer banks, Florida, and on Kaua'i and Maui. This is the best we have seen for swimming (not so great for snorkeling; no reefs).

This is by far the softest sand of any beach I've ever felt. And the water is so clear and beautiful. Parking, especially on a weekend, is hard, but the beach is well worth it.

This beach is a bit small and condensed, but the water is beautiful! One of my favorites on the island.

A very pleasant surprise at the end of this dirt road! Absolutely gorgeous beach with great facilities and a parkng lot not too far from beach area. However, it could prove challenging for someone who has disabilites to get down to the beach because there is an area where you have to do some climbing. Not bad at all for... More

This beach is a beautiful little turquoise bay with a lava rock field just to the south of it. Part of the bay is protected with few waves, but another part of the bay had pretty large waves where people were boogie boarding. The sunset here was beautiful. This beach is easily accessible with a parking lot right by the... More
