Best of Hawaii: Our Favorite Hawaii Beaches!
Today we’re hittin’ the surf!

Perfect for sunbathing, kayaking and snorkeling, these beaches are incredibly beautiful and amazingly secluded. Vacation homes line the shore, making Kailua and Lanikai the perfect setting for a destination wedding as well as a relaxing afternoon at the beach. Sunset Beach, Oahu There’s nothing like a sunset at Sunset Beach on Oahu’s North Shore . In the summer, a dip in Sunset’s cool blue waters is the best way to beat the Hawaiian heat. By winter, the surf picks up and Sunset becomes a playground for professional surfers from around the world.

With miles of sand wrapping around the base of Haleakala and not a sign of civilization in sight, Makena feels like being on an uninhabited island, almost.
