This is a private and beautiful beach, not to be missed if possible. It is a perfect spot for relaxation and drop dead gorgeous views.

Talcum powder sand that makes great sand sculptures and is easy on the feet, turquoise waters, good snorkeling on a calm day, body surfing and boogie boarding if it gets windier and rougher. Great for anyone who loves beaches and/or ocean swimming. Washrooms and outside showers just up from the beach, also some trees for shade back from the beach.... More 

The beach was beautiful. 100 people maybe on the entire beach. Limited parking can be a problem. About a 5 min walk to the beach from parking lot. Snorkeling was okay. Definitely was better on the left side. If you're looking for a quiet unpopulated beautiful beach, this is the place!

The architecture is killer. AIA America's Favorite Architecture listing is appropriate. That said, even with the new furniture and TVs it feels very much like it's not been touched since 1965. The facade is aging and falling apart despite the good architectural bones of this resort. It's like looking at 2016 pictures of a well dressed woman who was a... More

Moreover, there are only 20 or so parking spots, which were virtually all taken when we got there at 9:15 AM on an August Monday morning.... More 

Parking is really limited - we got there late after visiting a Macadamia Nut Factory and a National Historic Site - so like some other reviewers said, getting there at 1 pm was great since people started to leave. Wonderful snorkeling - we swam with a sea turtle! Water has this great turquoise color, fine sand. Due to limited parking,... More 

This was our favorite beach on the island! Since we stayed at the hotel, we did not have any problems with parking. Compared to other beaches we went to on this trip, this was not as crowded. Plenty of beach/sand to lay your area. Waves were calm and there were a bunch of fish my husband saw when he snorkeled.

A wonderful beach near the big resort but you don't have to be a guest to visit the beach (as with all Hawaii beaches the shore line is public). However, they do limit public parking so get there early on busy days.
