Review:
Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area is a 61.8-acre park on the Big Island of Hawaii, which features a beautiful white sandy beach with amenities such as paved parking, pavilions, picnic areas, restrooms, and showers. One of the most popular beaches on the island, Hapuna is situated just over two miles south of Kawaihae, and part of the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail winds its way through the park from Spencer Beach in the north to Puako in the south. Hapuna Beach offers excellent conditions for swimming, surfing, bodyboarding, snorkeling, and sunbathing, and it’s possible to spot migrating whales in the distance during the early part of the year.
