I love this beach. It's quiet, small, secluded. It has parking. It can get busy on weekends. Family friendly. Kids jump off the rocks. Lots of trees for shade. Snorkeling is OK. Depends on conditions. I've only seen it good, but some friends say it can get a little murky. Super relaxing. When I go here, I stay all day. It's my happy place. Zone out. Chill. Relax. Water is calm, sandy bottom with bordering reef. Great for swimming or floating.
On our last day in Kona we decided to stop by a different beach we hadn't been to so we can watch the sunset and beach 69 didn't disappoint! We really wish we had brought our swimsuits and towels to stay longer and enjoy vs. just stopping by. There weren't many people, lots of open space, and very pretty. They do have a machine where you pay $10 per car and $5 pp. I would definitely put this on your list to visit, a lot less crowded vs. Hapuna beach.
Nice beach and lots of good snorkeling. Highly recommend wearing water shoes if you have them because even the entry is a bit rocky. Lots of shade trees but the beach is relatively small and narrow so not a ton of room to set up for the day and picnic or anything. Non-residents are $5/pp and then $5/car, I believe.
Beach is beautiful and calm. If you have kids this is the place to go. Be prepared to pay $10 per car and $5.00 per person y you get there early. On my experience you don't pay after 2:00pm
7/1/22: This beach had lots of sea life when we went, which made it fun for snorkeling. I got to see a turtle swim by me and so many colorful fish of all sizes. I feel I saw more sea life here than the $120 snorkel excursion I paid for 2 days earlier. I appreciated how there was enough sand space in the water unlike other beaches I had visited, Which were filled with sharp rocks as soon as entering the water. It is best to wear water shoes, for the fishes are mainly surrounding the rocks, BUT I feel it's not a must. Just stay floating when ever over the rocks. Waves were calm on our visit, clear enough and warm. We arrived about 3pm and wasn't too crowded. Enough shade provided by the trees, didn't need to use my umbrella. I had read on one post that after 2pm there was no parking or entrance fee... so we didn't pay parking and had no ticket when we left at 6:30pm. Showers are located right at the exit, steps away from the parking.
This was my favorite beach in the Waikoloa Beach Resort area. It's on the smaller side, but it's not very crowded. This is probably the biggest reason why I love it. It's also a great place to snorkel. We brought equipment from our Airbnb and really enjoyed the snorkeling. There were a large variety of fish and I even saw a sea turtle. It is a pretty rocky beach which is what makes for good snorkeling, but it doesn't make for the best swimming. There's several trees on the beach which means there's shade to relax in. Parking within the gate is $5 like all state parks. There's also a hot malasadas truck at the corner of this road and the highway. Stop there as well! I'd definitely recommend checking out this beach if you're in the area!
Great beach! Super pretty trees. It was stressful with three little kids as the trees create kind of alley ways for your access to the beach. Very shady. Lots of great spots to plop down and read a book. There were lots of waves the day we were there so we didn't snorkel. Thinking about coming back to snorkel sometime soon.
Atypical Pretty beach. Atypical meaning not a lot sandy beach. Lots of rocks. Plenty of paid parking. There are a lot less people at this beach than Hāpuna. See photos to get a better idea of beach
Nice hidden beach with some picnic tables near the front (we ate our Foodland lunch here before finding a spot on the beach). They have bathrooms and showers too near the parking lot. Down at the beach, there is shade and the walk isn't far. You have lots of options in both directions for finding a spot to pitch your towel and relax.
Beautiful beach just to the left of Hapuna but on the same turnout on the highway. The best thing about this beach is that the trees go all the way to the water and provide shade as well as some great scenery. The swimming can be complicated a bit by the rocks so bring water shoes if you plan on wading. As of January 2022 the parking for tourists has gotten pretty steep! $10 for the car and $5 a person. So if you're not going to spend a significant bit of time here it may not be worth it.

This beach was suggested by someone at Kings shop for being enclosed by trees on a windy day. There are some rocks for climbing and snorkeling. My toddler mostly enjoyed playing with the sand. There are outdoor showers to rinse off at on the way back to the car and bathrooms too. Parking was $5 at a pay machine which receipt was place on our dash as proof of payment which is very reasonable to enjoy this kid friendly beach. We were informed by other beach goers that they do check. read more

Absolutely my favorite beaches of the trip! It's got it all in my opinion! Easy access, Sandy beaches, just the right amount of waves, lots of shade, and the snorkeling is awesome!! We saw tons of fish and turtles and it's an easy swim for everyone! Only negative thing is I wish we were found this beach first. Would have stayed all week! Highly recommended.. read more

Happened to stumble upon this hidden gem and so glad we did. Short walk down a path from the parking lot. The sand is powder soft and the water is different shades of blue. It is a small beach which was a great way to introduce our 1.5 year old. We had plenty of shade under one of the many trees and the shower right near the parking lot was very convenient. Breathtaking. read more

Beautiful private and secluded beach. Water was great. A little choppy so no snorkeling. My only complaint was there was no beach to sit on. I guess it was high tide so the waves came all the way up the beach. Really cool trees line the beach with lots of shade for those who don't want to sit in the sun read more

One of my favorite beaches in all of Hawaii. I've been to Maui, Big Island, and Kauai ... and I just love the speech more than any other! A must see when on the big Island! And on your way there as soon as you pass the airport look to the right to see a big love it too. You cannot she walked through it and come out the other side! read more

This beach is so fun! It's filled with trees, a rope swing into the water, and filled with places to hang up a hammock. There's plenty of shade if you want! Skip Hapuna, this one is a definite must see! read more
