Review:
is one of the few beautiful white sand beaches on Hawai'i's Kohala Coast, located on the western end of the state's Big Island approximately 2.5 miles from Kawaihae. The beach has been honored as one of the nation's best beaches by Dr. Beach, offering convenient access to the nearby Ala Kahakai National historic Trail and Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area. Pristine, calm blue waters make for excellent swimming conditions for young children and novice swimmers, with ample powder white sand offered for lounging and beach play. Ample opportunity for watersports is also offered, including kayaking and paddleboarding. Though unlimited beach access is offered for Westin Mauna Kea and Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel guests, visitors should note that non-guest access is restricted to the first 25 passes of the day. Map
