Reviewed By christinern - Vancouver, Canada
Go in the morning, before the waves and wind pick up. A long beach to walk, there are loungers close to the Marriott resort. Good for boogie boarding, some snorkeling and swimming. Lots of shade if you get there early. Beautiful sunsets from behind the fish pond looking towards the ocean. Walk down the beach past Lava Lava to spot turtles on the rocks and beach. Many feral and friendly cats live here.
9. Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area

Reviewed By Goatgirl194
Not far from Kona, this beautiful white sand beach is so family friendly when you have a 4 year old in tow! It was easy to park at the beach, clean bathrooms, outdoor showers to rinse off the sand and salt, right sized waves for boogie boarding, lovely vistas everywhere you look, outdoor food shack, lots of space on the beach to spread out. This was truly a winner for our family!

We have stayed in many different condos and at both the Hilton itself and the Grand Vacations time share apartments in Waikoloa. In the Waikoloa Beach Resort - we have FINALLY found the perfect place! As they say: “location, location, location.” This condo property is directly across the street from the Queens Marketplace, which includes the Gourmet Island Market, a Starbucks, a mid scale sit down cafe, a luxury movie theatre and various clothing and decorative/gift shops. It is also approximately one block from the Kings Shops, with a Macy’s, an all day affordable outdoor restaurant, another small market, and various jewelry and clothing shops. It is a 15 minute walk to the Hilton Waikoloa, as well as to a wonderful beach and the Lava Lava on the sand restaurant. The condo units are mostly 2 bedrooms and range in size from just over 1000 square feet to a full 1500. Some are 2 floors. We loved our unit (C23) which included a POOL PASS to the Hilton Waikoloa. We booked this unit through Resortica Hawaii and were very happy with their communication. This unit had both a master bedroom and a double bed 2nd room as well as a full bathroom, living room, kitchen and lanai on the first floor and then stairs up to an open area that had 2 twin beds. If you have children who sleep through anything, this 2nd floor is an OK option, however, you can hear and see everything going on in the downstairs area from there. So if anyone needs darkness or quiet to sleep - maybe just use the 2 bedrooms for sleeping. The kitchen is nice and open to the living room area. The lanai includes a grill and table and chairs for 4. On the property, there is a small workout room and 2 pools. From each pool area, users can access bathrooms in a small building, which is a nice touch. The pools are large enough for kids to play games, but not so big to swim laps. There’s also a hot tub with each pool. Anyone (with or without the pool pass) can walk over to either the Hilton and use the beach there or the closer beach where the Lava Lava Club restaurant is located. ALL BEACHES IN HAWAII are PUBLIC PROPERTY! The pool pass allows you to swim in all of the pools, park for free, use the slides (great for the kiddos), and get discounts on rentals at the beach. It’s a nice perk, especially if you have young children with you, but not a necessity. We liked having our condo on the 2nd floor, as when you stay in a first floor condo, you hear everything going on above you from other units. That means when people first arrive and are off-time, you hear kids jumping, crying, laughing, etc. at all hours. If you don’t want to walk up the extra set of stairs to get to the 2nd floor, you could find a unit on the first floor.
