In this video we share our pick for the five best beaches on the Big Island of Hawaii. Kua Bay, Hapuna Beach, Pohiki Beach, Kikaua Beach, Ho’okena Beach. Each is amazing for its own uniqueness, beauty, and fun. We have been coming to this Island for many years and while there are still many other beautiful beaches, these are our picks for the best.

WOW! 😮 absolutely beautiful. I’m travelling here in just over 2 weeks. I’ve only ever been to Maui❤ and Oahu. Maui is very special to me, but with everything going on I wanted to respect the island and not travel there at this time. So I am excited to see what the big island is like. And it looks amazing!

@retirementlife4us485 11 ай бұрын

We love Maui as well and are also heartbroken by the tragedy. Just pray for everyone there. Big Island has become our favorite island. It is amazing and we hope you have a great time there!

That was interesting because some of the beaches were unique, not usually listed as "the best". In that respect I absolutely loved Honomalino beach because nobody else was there! That beach requires less than 1 mile hike. But for us the best beach for snorkeling on Big Island was Two-step (taking into account that Captain Cook is not easily accessible).

@retirementlife4us485 Жыл бұрын

We haven't been to Honomalino Beach but it's now on our list for next time, thanks for sharing!! We also agree Two-Step is the best snorkeling on the Big Island!!

Make sure to bring slippahs if the sun is out at Ho’Okena or Honomalino Beaches. The salt and pepper (gray) sand will quickly warm up the bottom of your feet.

The never went to Mauna Kea resort beach it seems. It is just up the road from Hapuna Beach. Much better than Hapuna. They did not hike to Makawena beach either. Not to far from Kua beach but it is a hike. 👍

Kua Bay is my #1 also, simply beautiful water and sand, without having to walk far out over rocks. Only drawbacks are lack of shady trees and parking lot quickly filling up.

@retirementlife4us485 Жыл бұрын

Helps to get there early for parking. Helps to bring an umbrella too!

@Bobchai Жыл бұрын

I live less than 10 minutes from Kua Bay! 12 minutes if you count the time it takes to park (assuming you go very early).

Hi guys, loved your video! As we are planning to go Hawaii in March can you please let me know if Hapuna beach is good for swimming/ snorkling? Are waters over there rather calm meaning not big crushing waves that would make swimming impossible …?

@retirementlife4us485 Жыл бұрын

It is a great beach for swimming and just floating, not crushing waves at all. There is some snorkeling you can do off to the sides of the beach and a small area in the middle of the beach. Good Luck!

It's called "red road' not red dirt road. The original road had red cinder mixed with the asphalt giving it a red color. When the county repaved it, folks tried to get red dye added to the mix but it was too expensive.

It is called the "red road" but the reason I heard would definitely keep tourists away. It was a horrific crime that occurred there many years ago😢

@@pippilongstocking-qs7fm yeah. That’s not real. I’ve that road my entire childhood and my folks are still there, definitely called red road because of its former hue. There have been a few murders on that road, the most notorious being Dana Ireland.

First let me say I liked your video but you are not pronouncing the name of Ho'okena wrong it's not Hokena and it's far from a secret beach it's actually very ell known by everyone and a popular camping spot

Learn how to spell and pronounce the places before talking about them on social media. Especially if you have been coming to the island for as many times as you say you have. All out of due respect. Mahalo.
