(PRWEB) April 14, 2005 -- Best Places Hawaii, the largest
Hawaii-specific travel website in the world (Webtrends), ranks
the "10 Best Beaches in Hawaii," based on its recent
survey to find the Hawaii beaches that are best for visitors:
1. Lanikai Beach, Oahu:
Considered by many locals to be the best swimming beach in
Hawaii, Lanikai’s clear waters, clean, wide beach and
swaying coconut palms also make it a photographer’s dream.
A mile-long stretch of powdered-sugar sand is perfect for
hawaian sunbathing.
2. Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai:
Kauai’s North Shore may be the most beautiful beach setting
in all of Hawaii. It is the largest bay on the island and
a nearly a perfect semi-circle of white sand.
3. Kaanapali Black Rock Beach, Maui:
this beach has many different hawaiian names among them Keka‘a
Beach, Dig Me Beach, whatever you call it, Kaanapali Beach
in West Maui Hawai is a water sport lover’s paradise.
Virtually every type of ocean recreation is available.
4. Hanauma Bay, Oahu:
Hanauma Bay is a victim of its own success. Formed thousands
of years ago by the flooding of a volcanic crater, this nearly
circular hawaiian bay is home to an amazingly diverse and
abundant population of fish life. One of the best and most
popular snorkeling and swimming.
5. Ke’e Beach Park, Kauai:
Beach is a favorite snorkeling site. The water is clear and
there are tons of colorful reef fish and turtles. Ke‘e
Beach has a very tropical look with a backshore lushly vegetated
by ironwood trees, coconut palms, ti and guava.
6. Kapalua Bay Beach, Maui:
Situated between two lava points and bordered by a coconut
tree grove, Kapalua is known for its tranquil surf, ideal
for the less-than-adventurous swimmer and families with small
children.
7. Hapuna Beach State Park, Big Island:
In winter, wild, thundering waves pound the shoreline. Fortunately,
Hapuna Bay Hawai, on the Big Island’s west side, is for
real and it is the most popular beach on the island
8. Hulopoe, Lanai:
shoreline is quite steep, making it fine for swimming. Hulopoe
has some of the best snorkeling in all of Hawaii due to the
rich variety of colorful fish and stunningly clear water.
9. Poipu Beach, Kauai
10. Papohaku, Molokai
