The crescent-shaped Hanalei Beach, which has been ranked among the world’s best beaches for its sheer beauty, may be popular, but you’ll still get lots of elbow room. This big beach with white sands offers turquoise waters and great mountain views. It’s a well-known surf spot, but it also draws swimmers, snorkelers, paddle-boarders, anglers, and chillax-ers. Kids abound; it’s family-friendly.
