The Big Island- Hawaii

has fewer sand beaches per mile of shoreline than any of the other islands. However, what beaches we do have, especially on the west side are among the very best in the state. The Big Island has the greatest variety of beaches of anywhere in Hawaii. We have pristine white sand beaches, salt and pepper beaches of crushed coral and lava, grey sand beaches, black sand beaches and we even have a green sand beach rich with olivine.

 

When you find your perfect beach, respect the beauty, treat it gently & most importantly don’t leave any trash or plastics, even if they are not yours, keep our beaches clean.
