Hulopoe Beach is also an extensive marine conservation area that extends from the coast of Maui to the south coast of Lanai. Depending on the time when we visit these shores, we see the passage of humpback whales, which occurs in winter. The whole beach is surrounded by vegetation with shadows on all sides, which is appreciated in the hottest days. For all the beach resorts we can find resources to hotels and restaurants for various tastes.

Poipu Beach is just 30 minutes from Lihue Airport, and extends for about 5 miles. One of the highlights of this beach is located near the highway that encircles the island, so it is a good starting point for exploring the island and know it thoroughly. Along the beach in Poipu, we can find tables to sit and have a picnic. The beach has showers and toilets as well as bars, restaurants and supermarkets just to seafront. If we drive, there is ample free parking, which is a short walk from the beach. For the area, several hotels where we choose to stay.

There are three distinct parts of Poipu Beach. In the east the water is shallow where we can splash and play with the children. Farther west, the waters are ideal for people who can not swim very well because even though the waters are deeper, are very quiet and the waves are slow and calm. Here we can see many people having fun with inflatable floats and deck into the water. To the west of the beach, we found the best part for diving and snorkeling. There are some colorful coral and a variety of fish that leave us impressed.

Provides excellent typical beach activities such as swimming, diving or doing surf. The beach is protected along its route by palm trees that we can shelter in the hottest days. It is a perfect destination for people seeking tranquility especially either alone or with family or friends. In most of the beach, the waters are calm and we have no problems with treacherous rip currents or tides, so we can enjoy swimming without problems. In the park at Poipu Beach, find areas where water is shallow, making it ideal if we go with young children. In the area of the park, we have the option of hiking in the area and spend the day.

Poipu Beach is by itself a source of captives, although the area of Kauai has many other options for travelers in search of other activities apart from spending the day at the beach. There are several golf courses to practice our skills with the sticks, or if you wish, you can tour the island riding a horse. Anyway, the summer is very hot so the best times to go are from November to April. If what you like is to see rain, the best dates are from May to October.

Kapalua Beach is the most luxurious tourist resort around Maui. In Kapalua, also referred to as Kapalua park, some of the most highly regarded golf courses in Hawaii. As in this type of tourist areas, the beach is extremely careful and surrounded by shops, restaurants, recreational areas including tennis courts, and everything you need to enjoy your vacation. In parts of the beach, there seems to be so much sand between vegetation and water, which makes us curious insight. Still, the popularity of this beach is great, and it shows the views that have the end of the year.

The beach is long, wide and is surrounded by trees and vegetation along its route, which gives a shadow that visitors appreciate, especially on hot days. In some parts of the beach, we must be careful if you swim because the slopes on the shelf that cause hangovers can be dangerous. However, generally the waters of this beach are ideal for snorkeling, swimming and surfing if the waves with it.

We may be moving through the different parts of the beach, and observe that never loses its beauty in no time. A sand and water quality, beautiful scenery and many places to eat and relax while enjoying one of the best beaches in Hawaii, and even the United States.

One attraction of the beach at Kapalua is snorkeling. It has areas dedicated to this entertainment, and where we can see the incredible variety of seabed and marine animal wildlife, including turtles (there are plenty of them at Kapalua). Near the beach there are several hotels with their own golf courses. Some hotels have even a part of the beach for private use of its customers, such as the Hotel Hana Maui.

This beach is so popular, was once a fun and relaxation area for Hawaiian royalty. It was introduced to the world when its first hotel - the Moana Surfrider hotel - was built on the coast in 1901. Today it is a place visited, not only to enjoy its beaches, but for shopping, eating and dining and entertainment both day and night. Anyway, the beach and industry assembled around him, is still the center of the tourists who come from everywhere. For this reason, we can find most hotels near the very edge of the beach of Waikiki.

Waikiki Beach is also known for its magnificent views of the dormant volcano Diamond Head and Diamond Head. The temperature is usually warm and cloud-free throughout the year. Much of the beach is reserved for surfers, making it popular among this community in the world. The water is shallow until well into the ocean, although there may be rocks in the background, so we must be careful where we tread.

discussed before. It was created in 1976 when the land was leased by King Kalakaua for one dollar a year. It is a park admission free and all available services are available to visitors without any fee. Besides the zoo, the park includes tennis courts, football fields. Many people come to run and play sports, traveling the circumference of 3 miles to the park.

We can find a sandy beach that is perfect for sunbathing, relaxing and picnicking. There are several hiking trails along the coast and areas of extreme beauty with incredible landscapes. The curvature of the bay usually provides protection against large ocean waves and allows swimmers a good opportunity for viewing marine life and seabed. However, we must always be outstanding ocean conditions at all times and obey the lifeguards notices and posters.

It is a conservation area and there are some rules you must follow, such as not bring pets to the beach, no alcoholic beverages, not to fish or feed the fish, and of course, interact with marine life in any way . On the beach there are lifeguards, showers, toilets, picnic areas with tables, grass, shade and plenty of parking. There are places where we can rent all the equipment you need for diving in the area, although we must keep coral reefs in the same way that we found. There are facilities to learn more about Hanauma Beach and all it offers, and indeed, visitors are required to see an educational documentary on marine life and preservation before descending to the beach.

One of the strengths of the beach at Hanalei is that it has plenty of space and therefore not often find large congregations, especially when compared to other nearby beaches in Hawaii and Waikiki Beach. Indeed, other beaches in the area tend to have more people and fewer activities. Hanalei beach consists of white sand and mountains that surround and embrace the bay. See picture of mountains merging with the beach and the water at sunrise, is something worth saving and not forget.

The sport of surfing is quite famous in this area, as is play golf. The beach has several services available such as lifeguards, toilets, showers, shade and grass areas, picnic areas, car parks and some local places to eat and drink. There are also several shops near the beach to do some shopping. The truth is that the beach at Hanalei are two beaches in one. It extends along nearly two miles, and the government of Kauai (where the beach), has built two parks: Park Hanalei Beach Park and Beach Waioli.

Hookipa Beach was the destination for many windsurfing competitions held in the discipline of ‘the wave’. One of the annual events is the “Aloha Classic”, which is a competition with several age categories. Like many other locations in Maui, this beach is usually a tourist attraction, especially in the winter for its amazing surf shows. The truth is that it is a good place to swim, as the huge waves hinder this activity. Usually advise the authorities off the water at certain times. Many visitors will have to settle for staying in the picnic areas and watch the show from some of the many existing viewpoints.

The truth is that Lanikai Beach is a small paradise in the Hawaiian beaches, surrounded by the whitest sand and bluest water we can not imagine. The waters are usually pretty calm all year and is one of the few beaches where the waves Ouha not break on the coast. Diving with fins and snorkel on coral reefs, is one of the most popular activities on this beach, especially for existing reefs in shallow waters near the shore.

From the beach at Lanikai your can see a wonderful view of the islands Mokulua, and clear days you can see Molokai. These islands can be visited if you rent a kayak or a boat. It may be somewhat misleading Lanikai Beach to find if coming by car or bus. If we also take into account that part of the area is residential, it is no wonder that many visitors choose to go to this beach with boats from the beach in Kailua. It takes about half an hour to reach the beach in this way, but the return usually takes less time to have the wind in our favor.

Swimming is another story. Strong currents, powerful waves and a major hangover, make this a place water unsafe for swimming most of the time. It is advisable not to get deep inside if we choose to get into the water. We see occasional expert surfer trying your luck at the left side of the beach. In this same side of the beach, we have a freshwater stream which can serve to refresh us if the heat too oppressive.

As positive points to visit this beach, despite the problems of being able to bathe, we have a really wonderful scene, a stunning sand and shady areas, a freshwater stream on the same beach. The disadvantages are that there is no supervision or services to the public.

This beach is ideal if you want to get away from everything and everyone, whether with your partner, family or alone. It is a perfect place to take a book, a camera or video, your favorite music, and simply enjoy your surroundings. Go by the time you go, possibly the greatest number of people you see, does not exceed a dozen.

Like most beaches that we can find in Hawaii, we will find our paradise in any of these little pockets, and this beach can certainly one of them.

Where do I stay and where to eat?

There are no housing resources or places to eat in Lumahai beach, so if we stay all day, it is best for us to get what we will be required to eat and be on the beach. The closest thing we have to lodge is Kauai. Being a completely natural sea state, we must find our own means to reach this beach, either renting a car or someone to take us.
