The Kohala Coast's most pristine and perfectly formed white sand beach, framed by the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. The crescent of fine white sand and calm, turquoise water is considered one of the most beautiful resort beaches in the world. Public access is available through the hotel with a limited number of public parking passes.
Tip: Call the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel the morning of your visit to reserve one of the limited public parking passes (released at 6 AM). The early-morning calm water is exceptional for swimming.
