Beaches, Beaches, Beaches!!! When visiting Hawaii, to locate the closest and best beach seems to be a top priority for any Hawaii visitor whether they spend their vacation on Oahu, Maui, Kaui or the Big Island.
Here is another one of those secret Big Island beaches, which Kona resident and vacation rental owner Bill is sharing with our Best Hawaii Vacation blog visitors today.
"My favorite Big Island beach is probably the best kept secret. It is Honomalino Bay. Most people who live here think Honomalino is on Maui. This lovely black and white sands beach is not that well known. It is a 100 yards or so of beautiful secluded beach backed by loads of coconut trees and it descends to a wonderful swimming and snorkeling beach. A great place to swim with the dolphins.
It is about a 20 minute hike that is marked with lots of “private property” signs but if you stay on the trail you will bypass each and every private area and then it opens up to the most beautiful, breath taking and private spots on the Big Island. There have never been more than a handful of people on this beach making it that much more enjoyable. With a good book and some sun screen I can’t think of a better way to spend a day!
This is how to get to Hanomalino Bay beach: DRIVE to Miloli’i Beach Park, HIKE to Honomalino Bay. Take the winding one lane paved road just south of the 89 mile marker. This is a very local place, and it is a courtesy to leave it to the locals on weekends and holidays. Park and take the trail heading south along the waterfront, through the tide pools. Ignore the “private” signs, access to the trail is public. You’ll regain the trail at the back of the sand and palm trees at the south end of Miloli’i. This beach is public also, but not too appealing with the “keep out” signs. You will have a 20 minute walk south to a beautiful and secluded black and white sand beach. Swimming is good when calm. Carry food and water. There are a few homes here, accessed by this trail or a torturous 4 wheel drive private road."
Much mahalo again, Bill, for joining our guest author list. Please everybody, share your favorite Hawaii beach for any of the Hawaiian Islands with our blog visitors. They appreciate your vacation ideas. Guest posts by Hawaii visitors or residents about your favorite Hawaii beach are most welcome. Mahalo and aloha, Pua Hawaii Vacations
