The beach stretches on the coast of the Hawaii and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike.

User reviews
"As we strolled through the gate, we were greeted with a refreshing walk towards the magnificent beach and the charming old mill. Along the way, we had the pleasure of meeting a kind lady who resides near the path. She informed us that the gate closes at 6:30 pm, adding a sense of urgency to our beach adventure."

Is the beach good for sunbathing?
Lyman Bay (Hawaii) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all Lyman Bay (Hawaii) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the Lyman Bay for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
