Sandy Beach, South Shore

s1

Hawaii’s coastline is supposed to be both beautiful and dangerous, and that about sums up conditions here. The currents and shore break keep it interesting and on the ‘must do’ list for surfers and body surfers, but when the ocean starts to get a bit angry you’d better take note and get out of the water if you’re anything less than an experience shorebreak body surfer – and if you don’t know what that is then you’re not one, get out of the surf! They may make it look easy but that doesn’t mean we can all do it.

Kapalua 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.
