Although Hawaii offers some excellent dining, shopping, and entertainment opportunities, one of the most popular attractions among tourists is Hawaii’s beaches. With soft, brilliant white sand beaches and clear, pristine water, many of Hawaii’s beaches rank among the best in the world. However, some of these beautiful beaches are generally hidden from the public and accessible only by helicopter or boat. Nevertheless, Hawaii never fails to provide its residents and guests with an amazing day at the beach.

One of the most popular beaches on Oahu is Lanikai Beach. Located on the northeast coast of the island, Lanikai Beach features white sand with a powdered-sugar-like consistency and clear, blue waters. This beach is also popular for kayaking, outrigger canoeing, sailing, surfing, and windsurfing, with many of these activities available to tourists via rental shops nearby. Another popular beach is Hanauma Bay, which is also located on Oahu. Situated at the base of a dormant volcano on Oahu’s southeastern coast, Hanauma Bay offers excellent snorkeling and swimming, with the reefs located offshore teeming with marine life. Some other beaches that you may want to check out include Hanalei Bay Beach, Poipu Beach and Ke’e Beach Park on Kauai, Kapalua Bay Beach and Kaanapali Black Rock Beach on Maui, and Hapuna Beach State Park on the Big Island.
