Beaches
There are plenty of sandy attractions on the Big Island. Escape to the soft sands, tidal pools, lush shade trees and sparkling waters teeming with diverse marine life and water sports enthusiasts!
| Anaeho`omalu Bay (also known as A-Bay), located on the Big Island of Hawaii`s west shore near the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort Resort, is one of the prettiest beaches in this area. It features a long white-sand beach, several tide pools, fishponds and a large grove of coconut palms. You`ll also find it better equipped than its neighbors, with restrooms, showers and a parking lot conveniently located nearby.
Like many of the Big Island beaches, Anaeho`omalu is protected by an offshore reef. The ocean bottom drops off gently here, and the beach is popular for a variety of ocean sports, including swimming, snorkeling, windsurfing, scuba diving and surfing. Dangerous ocean conditions may occur during storms or high surf. |
