Holiday In Beach

Kapalua, once voted the best beach in the world, is certainly one of the best in Hawaii. Sheltered by two lava points which produce calm, warm waters, this crescent shaped bay is great for families with kids – with the softest sand and excellent snorkelling, easy for beginners. There is also a watersports centre, lifeguards and some excellent resort hotels nearby.

Now a national park, this is a glorious crescent shaped stretch of pink sand beach on the south-east coast. It is on the Atlantic side, so the sea can get a bit frisky at times and is good for bodysurfing and windsurfing. There are some calm spots which are fine for children and there is some very good snorkelling.
