This half-mile stretch of white sand on the Big Island’s South Kohala Coast has just enough consistent small-wave action to make it the best beach on the island for body surfers and bodyboarders. You’ll find lots of both here. But you'll also find more than enough room on Hapuna’s luxuriously wide sand dunes to stretch out and catch some rays. Bonus: the crystalline surf here is also great for hearty swimmers.
