Beach was on the smaller side, tough to get into the water. I was more concerned about the locals at the other end of the beach hanging out near the bathrooms, drinking, swearing, and providing just an overall uncomfortable feeling for my daughter who is 10 and I.

White Sand Beach is very popular because in this particular area it is full of sand instead of rocks. That means no stumbling and bumbling about trying to get into and out of the water, which is most appreciated by old duffers like me.

It's probably better for boogie boarding, but there are some rocky areas that border the beach that have pretty decent snorkeling. Nice place to visit. The big negative is the lack of parking.

Some walking area in the sand but small beach close to Kona. …
