Beautiful beach, easily the best!
Our favorite beach on the island - white soft sand, blue water. Easy long walks along beach, some people paddle board, boogie board or body surf, pending waves. Next to the beautiful resort, where they have nice restrooms and a water refill station. Get there early to park! We arrived 7:45am on a Sat and 8:30am on a Thurs - both times we got a spot but if you came much later, likely wouldn’t find a spot. Because there is limited parking, it makes this beach less crowded than Hapuna (a plus for us). The resort has a restaurant on the beach but prices are high (in general are high on island though), if you don’t want to pack food.

Go early, nice beach at very exclusive resort
Great beach, couldn’t afford to stay at this resort but if you can get to beach area by 8:30am and get one of the free 40 public parking spots then it’s great! otherwise try Hapuna beach or even Kua Bay. All get super busy by 10a. Go early before wind picks up!
