17 thoughts on “Visitors and Experts Dispute List of Hawaii’s Best Beaches”

  1. For myself, Waikiki is hard to beat, beautiful beach, not a lot of coral, all the amenities, dining, hotels w/o the need for a Weekly Rental and Parking. To Maui, though much of my business was in Lahaina and Kaanapali, I preferred both Wailea Beach and D.T.Fleming in Kapalua. To Kauai, Poipu was our choice from the Stouffer Waiohai in ‘86 through the Grand Hyatt Poipu in the new millennia.

  2. These are predictable lists from travel writers, pretty standard and expected. We’ve been coming to Hawaii for years and have our own favorites, thankfully not on these lists. Our fav is on Maui. Bottom line is who can argue with any of these places? Sun, surf and Hawaii vibe can’t be beat🤙

  3. “Best beaches” is a very personal and subjective list. I agree that the beaches mentioned by both are beautiful. Some like much more intimate and pristine locations though. So I’ll just let those lists stand as is, and keep the intimate pristine locations to myself and Ohana locals. 😉
    Aloha~!

  4. The best beaches on BI have limited access first come first serve (25 cars only) White sand, bathroom facilities, a trash can, shade available, whale sightings, and snorkeling. “Secret Beaches” can be found with a little research on Google Earth.

  5. I travel every year. My favorite beaches are Ala Moana Park (any area), Lanikai beach and any beach on North Shore. If I’m on the Big Island, I like Hapuna beach. Thanks
