Description:
South of Hapuna Beach, Mauna Kea is regarded by many as one of Hawaii's – if not the world's – top beaches. Smooth, golden sands are flanked on one side by lush coconut groves and on the other by calm, crystalline waters protected from strong currents by a series of offshore lava flows. Try to arrive early – by 10am most days, you'll find the beach already staked out by sunbathers and the waters brimming with snorkelers, kids trying out new boogie boards, and those just wanting to cool off with a quick dip. Parking is limited, and the resort that maintains the beach allows only a certain number of visitors at a time – two more reasons to get there early.
