Beaches around the island

by Nate

The Big Island of Hawaii is a perfect escape for a run away of the whole family that everyone will always remember forever. Unlike the busy city of Honolulu, Waikiki and downtown, the tourist that tours in Maui, Hawaii’s biggest island, known as the Big Island is special. Allow your self to explore the island by hiking the trails at Volcano National Park, playing in snow at the top of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, to having a Bar-B-Q in your back yard to soaking up the sun on a white sandy beach in paradise, enjoying the water and watching the sun sett.The Big Island has some of the best beaches, but not only in Hawaii, but also in the whole world. Big Island beaches vary in many colors, black, white, green, gray, and white. One of the most popular beaches is Hapuna Beach, right in the back of Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel and Mauna Kea Beach, all along the Kohala Coast. This beach is good for snorkeling, boogie boarding, as well as all the sun you could ever ask for. If you get lucky, on some days turtles whirl by and soak up the sun also on the shore. According to Jonathan Ancheta he recommends “Waipio Valley” located just about a mile out of the heart of Honokaa Town. Waipio Valley is known as the Valley of the Kings. This flourishing valley of hundreds of cascading waterfalls, miles of running rivers flowing from the top of the mountains, acres if taro patches is about two-thousand feet in elevation. After taking long hikes up the cliffs of the valley or horseback riding and riding ATV along the rim, its black sand beach is always a perfect relaxation sanctuary.
