Hanalei Bay Beach

If you are looking for a giant ring of white sand beaches, Hanalei Bay Beach has you covered. The beach stretches for 2 miles along the "half-moon" shaped bay, is one of the most impressive beaches in all of Hawaii. Located on Kauai, Hawaii, in the distance are mountains, giving the whole area a miraculous feeling from the natural world. If you love beaches, you are going to want to check this one out - even if you don't see all of it.

From swimming to other water activities, this is the place to be. If you enjoy watching serious surfers in action, Hanalei Bay Beach is one of their favorite places, giving you the opportunity to safely see them in action from the beach. For the more adventurous, there are plenty of activities to keep you entertained. And as mentioned, if you're more into relaxing, there are plenty of sites to make it enjoyable to sit back and just take it all in slowly.

Because of the make-up of the bay (mostly sand bottom), there isn't that much snorkeling in the area, but that leaves more of the water open for other pursuits like surfing. A lot of big name professional surfers like to surf at Hanalei Bay Beach, even when the water is a little rougher during winter months. There are lifeguards on duty if you're concerned about your safety in the water. All in all, if you're looking for one of the best beaches in the world, this should be on your list for a lot of different reasons.
