Waikōloa Beach — Attraction in Hawaii

Some beautiful secluded sandy spots if you walk past the lava lava beach club. A bit hard to swim here, underwater dunes and giant rocks-- so be prepared for some bruises (or a lost toenail, like me) if you don't stay hyper-vigilant where your feet are while swimming. Expect to see plenty of turtles! Would be 4 stars considering the terrain, but I was VERY happy to see folks being extremely respectful and keeping their distance while appreciating the turtles, and even getting out of the water to move down the shore if turtles swam into the shallows nearby as to not disturb them.

A nice place to spend a peaceful morning on the far end of the beach past the lava lava beach club, paddle board out in the surf on the gentle waves, or join other families splashing and laughing on the other, near the resort-- there's a spot for every kind of beach-goer.

We stopped in at this beach a couple times as it was on the edge of the property and the hotel stay came with an hour of free snorkeling equipment rental each day. The beach is quite small but pleasant enough. Once you go into the water you have ~5 feet of a sandy bottom then it transitions into rock. This was a bit neat for snorkeling but you need to take care. The rocks are covered with sea urchins. It is not a good beach if you actually want to get into the water. Drive fifteen minutes to get to Hapuna Beach State Park. That beach was breathtaking and everything you could...

Wonderful beach and lovely shop hosts especially my favourite Amanda and Robby who have helped us with all the gears for Kayaking and snorkling… heartfelt thanks to Amanda and her team, wonderful lady. We booked Kayaking the day was windy could not even do that for 5 mins and had to come over after couple days to do that to which Amanda amazingly remembered us and courteous enough to waive off the fees for that day for Kayaking. We were able to do the Kayaking for 45 mins or it was a lovely first time experience. This beach shop is right at the very beach of Marriott Vacation resort. It is not only resort which we have enjoyed but even the hospitality this place...
