Hawaii's Top Beaches
Hawaii is synonymous with so many things, including Hawaiian culture and dance, blue skies, pineapple, Macadamia nuts, Kona coffee, surfing and of course, beaches! Without a doubt, the beaches of Hawaii are plentiful and each one is unique.
Here is a sample of some of Hawaii’s Top Beaches for you to consider as you plan your Hawaiian getaway.
Hanalei Pier provides a scenic walk right on the water.
Hanalei Bay, Kauai
While the Garden Island of Kauai is home to numerous scenic beaches, Hanalei Bay is one that retains the distinction of being lauded by countless travelers as the best beach in Hawaii. Its lush surroundings and scenic beauty provide the perfect backdrop for some amazing aquatic offerings. Summer provides a flat-water experience that’s ideal for swimming and paddleboarding. However, these calm waters offer something very different during the winter, high surf, which is always a draw for locals and visiting surfers.
The featured resort on Kauai is Royal Sonesta Kauai Resort, located a little over an hour south of Hanalei Bay.
Yes, the sand really is black but don't be tempted to touch the sea turtles, they are a protected species.
Punalu’u Black Sand Beach, Hawaii
The Big Island of Hawaii is unique in that it is an island that is still “under construction.” Lava continues to flow from Mt. Kilauea which adds roughly 875 acres annually on this island. A consequence of lava flowing onto beaches is black sand beaches and Punalu’u Black Sand Beach is ideal for those seeking a unique beach experience where you can also swim and snorkel. And while you’re here, be on the lookout for Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles walking along the beach (just don’t touch or get too close to them as they are a protected species).

Large Hawaiian waves attract surfers to this prime location.
Waimea Bay Beach Park, Oahu
Winters on Oahu’s North Shore draw surfers like moths to a flame. Giant and thunderous waves are the attraction to surfers who enjoy the challenge of experiencing the aquatic might of Mother Nature. Waimea Bay Beach Park is the place to be if you are a professional surfer who’s up for such a challenge. But if you are not a professional surfer, you can enjoy the views and witness the awesome power of nature as surfers attempt to conquer the giant waves or wipeout!
The featured resort on Oahu is Courtyard by Marriott North Shore, located a quick 26-minute drive to Waimea Bay Beach Park.
Makena Beach is the definition of a beautiful Hawaiian beach.
Makena Beach, Maui
The vast expanse of Maui’s Makena Beach explains why locals refer to this beach as “Big Beach.” Nearly 2/3 of a mile long, Makena Beach is refreshingly undeveloped and pristine. This is a place where you can appreciate its seclusion and beauty without having to compete with other visitors claiming beach blanket space at resort beaches during the high travel season. With its white sands and commanding views of neighboring islands, Makena Beach is a must-see when visiting the Island of Maui.
The featured resort on Maui is Wailea Beach Resort - Marriott, Maui, located less than 15 minutes from Makena Beach.
