Beach 69 is popular among locals and visitors alike. It's unique compared to other beaches on the Big Island. The combination of shade, easy access to the ocean, and protection from swell make this a great chillax spot for couples and families.
It can be a bit of a walk but once you find your little nook in the trees you can easily spend an entire day here. Bring a hammock or inflatable and rest under the ample tree shade. When setting up keep in mind the tide as it can force you to move up to higher ground lest you get your stuff wet.
The snorkeling at beach 69 can be good. It's relatively protected from southern swells in the summer and partly protected from northwest swell in the winter. The visibility is usually low here with a typical day being in the 15 - 25' range.
It's a great beach for anyone staying in Waikoloa up through Mauna Lani and Mauna Kea Hotels. We much prefer it over the blazing hot and sandblasting wind of Hapuna beach.
