You can’t visit Hawaii without a trip – or nine – to the beach, but on an island of beaches, which one is the best? Well, we’ll argue that it’s Hapuna Beach, and as voted consistently the number one beach in the U.S., we have a feeling we’re not alone.
Here, whether you want to snorkel or enjoy the view from the sand, you are certain to have a relaxing, classic Hawaiian experience. The beach itself is about ½-mile long and up to 200 feet wide, leaving plenty of space for plenty of beach bums.
Everything you need to enjoy a full day is here – concessions, picnic tables, equipment rentals and even showers. Stick around for the sunset and if you find at the end of the day that you can’t pull yourself away – don’t worry! A-frame tent cabins are available to rent.
