  • 3 out of 5 stars by prissykay from Charleston, West Virginia
  • January 5, 2006
Quote: The Hapuna Beach Park is a secluded beach. The road is rough driving and a 4 wheel drive is a must. You drive past lava tubes - don't go off "road" because you cannot tell what is not solid ground. This is more for the adventurer. It is a reasonable... Read the full Hapuna Beach State Park review

Quote: This is one of the best beaches on the island. We went here two times during our weeklong trip. The sand and waves were great. During whale season, look in the distance. We saw a whale or two breaching in the distance.

  • July 8, 2003
Quote: This beach is one of the best in Hawaii. The waves are great and there's beautiful white sand. You do need to be an experienced swimmer and be aware of undertow! Very nice grassy area and picnic area. It is a bit of a hike down a hillside but... Read the full Hapuna Beach State Park review

  • 5 out of 5 stars by sizatt from Nephi, Utah
  • July 8, 2003
Quote: It is the most beautiful beach to just lay around. The sand is soft and you can walk out quite a ways before it gets deep. In the afternoon, it is possible to boogie board and watch a beautiful sunset as it disapears into the ocean. We have taken... Read the full Hapuna Beach State Park review
