This beach is small, quiet and romantic with its white washed trees , black rock and gorgeous ocean. Come for sunset !

Best snorkeling is where the reef builds up around the rocks. From the main lot, walk to the beach then left & left some more. Look for a large formation, set your gear down, and enjoy.

Named after the number on the post at the side of the road , you'll find lots of shade and plenty of parking at beach 69. Water is clear and good for snorkeling . Watch for thorns and rocks in the sand.

Beware strong currents, especially on the north side. Come early for good parking especially on weekends. Showers , bathrooms , some picnic tables .

Dean Suhr

Must see - few miles north of Waikoloa ... a real nice sandy beach with some basic snorkeling . Lots of shade for us mainlanders. Recently improved with rinse off showers . Road is narrow and good.

Susan Dybbs

Great beach to spend the day. Plenty of shade and room. If you want to snorkel go to two step beach instead.

Arrive as early as possible as you’ll have the beach fairly to yourself and the waters are way calmer in the morning !

One of our favorite beaches , beautiful snorkling on the north-end of the beach . Can be a nice surf-spot when the surf is up.

Alexander Polson

Quiet and secluded beach great for snorkeling even though the water can get a little rough at times.

Brian Duncan

Not much sand. Mostly rocky. Secluded and shady. Head a little bit left as you enter and you'll get a little bit of a beach .

John Grohol

Beautiful, free snorkeling (bring your own gear) when ocean is calm . Not as clear when ocean is rough...

Dan Hinde

Amazing snorkeling - thousands of fish and some turtles too! Great shady spots on the beach too. Awesome.

Carl Tydingco

This is the best place to go for a quiet morning swim

John Espino

Great snorkeling spot! Swim with the turtles and tons of colorful fish !!

G Lam

Bathrooms are never in working order and the portos are always a little rough. Hop over to Hapuna for facilities, but beach 69 is way nicer!!

Maggie McCauley

Small beach . Very secluded, but sand is really rocky.

Sascha Goto

Strong 4G or LTE coverage (AT&T).
