There's a coastal trail up to Mauna Kea beach/resort (and further). It's a wonderful scenic hike; on one side is the beautiful ocean and on the other are vacation homes with infinity pools that most of us will never be able to afford. Many have described this nice big beach, I'll just add that there has been many spinal injuries... More

This beach offers nice picture views and clean water to swim in. Once you get past the first 10 feet along the shore where the water is very murky due to sediments being picked up. Overall a very nice beach to visit offers that Hawaiian feel that most people attribute to Hawaii. Strong currents are possible so read the signs,... More

The beach is not only beautiful, but also very playful. We stayed in the Hapuna Beach Price Hotel, which gave us premium access of this beach -- from sunrise to sunset to moonset (have you heard about it before, yup, I did mean moonset); from the fine sand to the black lava rock; from the sea turtles to colorful corals...

Long stretch of gorgeous white sand beach. Perfect for swimming and just enjoying the sun. Gets crowded on weekends, but still worth a visit.

This beach has very strong current, so I did not go in the water, however it is a beauiful park and a wonderful place to have a picnic and sunbath and play with the kids.

To me the Big Island has more history and beauty than all the other islands combined - and this is one of them. More of beach that most tourist expect when coming to the islands, very nice, worth the visit.

the biggest sandy beach on Kona side for sure. Waves dont get too big here, ok boogie boarding. Nice place to bring kids as they find new friends almost instantly here.

This was a super way to spend an April afternoon before we went to a luau in the evening. I am a senior citizen and went boogie boarding with my daughter for the first time! Can't wait to do it again. The water was nice and warm once we got in and the beach was as white as Waikiki -... More

Great Beach. Big, not crowded, lifeguard on duty and the wavy water is lots of fun.
