???? Kona Brewing Co. named an IPA after this beach . It's absolutely delicious... It replicates & reproduces the beautiful clear blue waters and the white sands of this beach . I am in love and a fan ????

Melinda McCullough

Amazing but the surf gets big and in the winter the waves hit hard!! People get hurt here and there isn't a lifeguard ! Beautiful one of my favorite beaches but respect it!

Casey Anderson

One of the most popular island beaches , great for photos of the incredibly clear blue water and white sand , surrounded by black lava. Come early for parking and bring sunscreen and a shade umbrella.

Alec Mollenhauer

really good snorkeling on the rocks on the right side! Be careful for Sea Urchins as there are 3 or 4 different kinds out here. Also be aware of sharks. Saw a 4.5 foot reef shark. Gets down to 50 ft

Brittany Smith

Amazing crystal clear aqua blue beautiful water...lots of 20 and 30 something's and families with young children. So much fun!! Great body surfing/boogie boarding! Bring water shoes for the lava hikes

Talisa Chang

Great white sand beach , not a lot of shade though. A tiny bit of a rocky walk to get to the beach , might be hard for frailer folks.

Noah Weiss

The most beautiful white sand beach we visited, and not crowded at all

Joe Stainbrook

This beach isn't marked from the highway; from Queen Kaahumanu Highway turn where you see the sign for West Hawaii Veterans Cemetery (opposite side of the highway).

Thomas Colton

Come later in summer when school is starting up and all the tourists have gone home. It's like having your own private white sand beach . Just gorgeous.

Brodie Olmstead

Crystal blue waters . Get here early before all the tourists crowd the beach and make it unbearable.

Maggie McCauley

Get there early. Park opens at 9. There's limited parking spaces . Best beach . Clear water, white sand , and great snorkeling .

Exclusive Resorts

Smallish beach . Great sand, and big draw for the kids is the cool caves and rocks to jump off of into the sand. Can't get cart or stroller down to the beach .

Carl Patterson

Great beach !! Excellent swimming , decent waves & good snorkeling . A very short walk in is a big plus to this gem.

Justin Sullivan

Crystal blue water and fun-size waves breaking toward the shore. Careful no lifeguard .

Grace P.

One of the best beaches I've been to!

Steve Schoenhoff

Best body-surfing beach .

Steven Haber

Kind of meh. A lot of people, not a lot of space. No shade.

Marie Søndergaard

Watch the wave . In the afternoon the can be BIG

Julie Ziemelis

Come early in the day to avoid the wind!

Lisa Harkins

Awesome beach

Maricris Ferrer

Private resort you have to have a visitor pass to access the beach . Very quiet and nice.
