Hawaii's Best Beaches

This selection of Hawaiian coastal sites features diverse geological formations, from the volcanic black basalt sands of Punalu’u to the limestone-filtered white sands of Lanikai. The list includes Maui’s Ho'okipa Park, a global center for windsurfing due to its consistent trade winds, and Kauai’s Kalalau Beach, reachable only via the Na Pali Coast’s 11-mile wilderness trail. These destinations represent varied marine environments, including protected coves on Oahu’s North Shore and the deep-sand, crescent-shaped beaches of South Maui.
