User reviews
"This beach is simply amazing and a favorite among locals. The setting and water are absolutely perfect. Pay parking is available, and although it's not overly crowded, it's advisable to arrive early. On the main road leading to the beach, you'll find a malasadas truck, which is a delightful treat. Overall, this is probably the best beach in Hawaii."
Samuel Rivers
"This beach near Hapuna is quite lovely. It was quite bustling on a Saturday afternoon. There is ample shade and numerous lava formations scattered around, creating a pleasant atmosphere to simply sit back and relish the soothing waves. I'm certain that this spot would be ideal for witnessing a stunning sunset."
