A beautifully long stretch of golden sand, Po’olenalena Beach is also sometimes referred to as Paipu Beach. Very few tourists knew about the beach until recently, but it's becoming more and more popular because of its sandy swimming areas and the excellent snorkeling that can be found on its south end. The beach is also particularly well known for its stunning sunsets, which have made it a highly sought-after location for weddings and photography shoots. There are no lifeguards on duty, but there are basic amenities including a beach shower and a port-a-potty at one end of the beach.
