Beaches
Hawaii is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world: turquoise waters, silky sand, and never a day too cold to swim.
Most of the Big Island's popular white sand beaches are found on the Kona/Kohala Coast. Black and green sand beaches are found
primarily on the southern coast. Both Hilo and Kona offer excellent snorkeling beaches with gradually sloping ocean floors. As a rule of thumb, the west coast has calmer waters as it is protected from the winds by the mid-island mountains.On the Kohala Coast, Kauna'oa Beach has been rated one of America's top beaches. Top national ratings have also gone to Hapuna Beach and Anaeho'omalu Beach, or "A-Bay," is a good spot for windsurfing and sail boarding.
