On its good days, this beach shines like no other in Hawaii. Nearly 3 miles long and set in one of the most picturesque locations in the state with majestic mountains in the background. When the surfs just right it turns into Disney Land for water enthusiasts. Experienced surfers are offered large waves at a reef on the right hand side of the bay. Closer in, at the pier, the waves lose energy and are perfect for beginners. Variably sized waves are served at the middle sections good for boogie boarding and intermediate level surfers. The beach is never crowded and offers plenty of room to play. Unfortunately the weather and surf dont always cooperate. Winter storms can bring chaotic ocean conditions, with run-off from rainfall sometimes dirtying the water. Storms and rainfall can also change the beachs sand by littering it with debris and rocks. During the summer the bay turns into a placid lake thats good for swimming and a favorite for beginner paddle boarders..
