Each is amazing for its own uniqueness, beauty, and fun. We have been coming to this Island for many years and while there are still many other beautiful beaches, these are our picks for the best.

    That was interesting because some of the beaches were unique, not usually listed as "the best". In that respect I absolutely loved Honomalino beach because nobody else was there! That beach requires less than 1 mile hike. But for us the best beach for snorkeling on Big Island was Two-step (taking into account that Captain Cook is not easily accessible).

    WOW! 😮 absolutely beautiful. I’m travelling here in just over 2 weeks. I’ve only ever been to Maui❤ and Oahu. Maui is very special to me, but with everything going on I wanted to respect the island and not travel there at this time. So I am excited to see what the big island is like. And it looks amazing!

    Make sure to bring slippahs if the sun is out at Ho’Okena or Honomalino Beaches. The salt and pepper (gray) sand will quickly warm up the bottom of your feet.

    The never went to Mauna Kea resort beach it seems. It is just up the road from Hapuna Beach. Much better than Hapuna. They did not hike to Makawena beach either. Not to far from Kua beach but it is a hike. 👍

    Kua Bay is my #1 also, simply beautiful water and sand, without having to walk far out over rocks. Only drawbacks are lack of shady trees and parking lot quickly filling up.

    Hi guys, loved your video! As we are planning to go Hawaii in March can you please let me know if Hapuna beach is good for swimming/ snorkling? Are waters over there rather calm meaning not big crushing waves that would make swimming impossible …?

  • @retirementlife4us485

    @retirementlife4us485

    It is a great beach for swimming and just floating, not crushing waves at all. There is some snorkeling you can do off to the sides of the beach and a small area in the middle of the beach. Good Luck!

    It's called "red road' not red dirt road. The original road had red cinder mixed with the asphalt giving it a red color. When the county repaved it, folks tried to get red dye added to the mix but it was too expensive.
