Best Beaches in Hawai’i

Although every beach in Hawai’i would rival the best in the world, there are a few that stand out in the crowd.

Waikiki Beach, Oahu

In Honolulu, Waikiki Beach provides incredible mountainside views from the pristine beach and cool blue waters. Waikiki Beach was voted No. 1 by Hawai’i Magazine readers — and for good reason. The beach is both gorgeous and relaxing, making it a top destination for locals and tourists.

Hapuna Beach, Hawai’i Island

Take the scenic route along the Kohala Coastline, through Hapuna Beach State Park and enjoy the calming shores and incredible surroundings. Hit the beach and take to the waves bodyboarding, swimming and surfing. After taking a dip in the ocean and catching some sun, grab something to eat from the food vendors along the beach.

Kailua and Lanikai Beach, Oahu

The mild temperatures and low winds create an ideal beach atmosphere for visitors. The warm waters and protective reef plays host to all types of water sports and outdoor activities. Head out on the water paddle boarding or lounge on the white sands of Lanikai Beach, which means heavenly sea.
