Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area is situated on the island of Hawaii and is home to one of Hawaii’s most beautiful beaches, boasting half a mile of soft sand and shimmering azure waters. You can bring along a picnic and make use of the picnic tables and barbecue facilities or get a drink or snack at the on-site snack bar.

When the sea is calm, Hapuna Beach is perfect for swimming and snorkeling and when the surf is up, you can try your hand at bodyboarding. Other popular beach activities include volleyball, beach football, sandcastle building, and simply enjoying one of the best beaches in Hawaii.
