What to see in Hawaii? Of course it depends on the beach. But if your understanding of the beach is still stuck in colorful umbrellas and sexy bikini girls, it is difficult to come to Hawaii to make up for the lessons. In addition to the crowded holiday beaches on Oahu, there are many colorful and strange beaches on the archipelago, such as black beach, green beach, red beach, and there is no hurry to punch in to collect.
White Beach
Waikiki Beach Waikiki Beach
Waikiki Beach was once synonymous with Hawaii, and when people think of Hawaii, people think of Waikiki's long white sand beach, cocktails at sunset, careless guitar sounds, hula dancers' unrestrained and enthusiastic dance postures, and surfers' orthodontics walking on the waves. Many travelers to Hawaii spend their entire vacations on the sands of Waikiki, sunbathing at a leisurely pace. Once a dedicated place for Hawaiian royals to relax, Waikiki means "Fountain of Gushing Springs," and is now surrounded by hotels and upscale malls. Duke Kahanamoku, the father of surfing, once taught surfing here.
Papohaku Beach papohaku Beach
Compared to the hustle and bustle of Waikiki Beach, Papohaku Beach, located at the westernmost tip of Molokai Island, is a tranquil and dreamy place. This is one of the largest white sand beaches in the Hawaiian Islands, and the beaches over three kilometres long are always silent and deserted, and although this is already the most visited beach in Molokai, it may not meet ten people in a whole day, and it seems that only the sunset in the west will break this tranquility. Such a beautiful and peaceful beach is the first choice for couples to walk, laugh and watch the sunset hand in hand, and if you have the opportunity to camp once is a rare experience, camping permission can be applied to the park management department. However, be aware that this beach is not suitable for swimming, especially in the winter when the wind and waves are strong.
The Annual May Molokai Hula Piko Festival is probably the only lively time on this beach, where locals celebrate the birth of hula, making it another paradise for the hula-obsessed traveler.
Polihale Beach, Rosedale Beach
Located on the west coast of Kauai, this long, narrow and silent beach is hawaii's most peculiar beach. This is a land of wind and sand, and there are many small sand dunes on the coast, as if at the end of the sky and the corner of the sea. If you have a 4XD that can drive to the beach, it will feel like you have come to the great desert, and you will feel that the sky and the earth are vast and the sea is flooded.
Black Beach
Maui Black Sand Beach Waianapanapa Beach
Located on maui's east coast, this magical beach is located on the famous Hana Road, and the sand on the beach is volcanic, so it has an eerie black color. Against the backdrop of blue skies and blue seas, the black sand beaches are even more unique and surprising, and are a must-see on the rugged Hana Road.
Punaluu Black Sand Beach Punaluu County Beach Park
Punaruwu Black Sand Beach on the southeast coast of the Big Island, between the volcano park and the small town of Naalehu, has formed a unique black sand beach composed of volcanic rocks due to the eruption of the volcano, especially the part soaked in seawater, which is almost completely dark. Green sea turtles can sometimes be seen on the beach, be careful not to get too close to the turtles, it is illegal to touch the turtles.
Green beach
Papakolea Green Sand Beach
Green Beach is formed by a green ore powder in Oshima, and the deep green sand reflects the turquoise ocean, which can be said to be a unique landscape in the world. Green Sand Beach is at the southernmost tip of the Big Island, where the roads are rugged and difficult to navigate, requiring a strong 4WD and a superb level of off-road driving to drive themselves, thus blocking most travelers. There are also determined travelers who hike to find out, and those who have been to the green sand beach can be regarded as veteran Hawaiian players.
Red Beach
Kaihalulu (Red Sand) Beach
Red Sand Beach in the small town of Hala, Maui, is a small stretch of sand that is rarely visited by tourists and is perfect for travelers to explore. Because sand contains high levels of iron oxide, it is rusty reddish-brown. Under the impact of the waves day after day, the reddish-brown color also becomes more and more pronounced.
