Glass Beach: One of the most unique beaches in all of Hawaii. The entire far side of the beach is filled with smooth, polished pieces of glass.

Ha’ean Beach: The swimming here is very hazardous as there is no reef to slow down the wave action. There is also a deep drop off just offshore.

Hanakapi’ai Beach: This beach is 2-miles down the popular Kalalau Trail. All beaches along the Na Pali Coast are treacherous and swimming in not adviseable any time of the year.

Hanalei Bay Beach: The entire Hanalei Bay is ringed with a white sand beach. The surrounding mountains embrace this bay and, in the early morning when the ocean is like glass, it mirrors the beauty of the cliffs.

Po’ipu Beach: Po’ipu is the major beach on the South Shore. Swimming here is almost always safe especially on the left side of the beach. A small strip of sand divides this section of the beach from the rest.

Polihale State Beach Park: The last beach on the road, this is Kauai’s westernmost point. It is an extension of Barking Sands Beach making it Hawaii’s longest beach with 17 miles of sparking white sand!

Pu’u Poa Beach: This great, white sand beach is located in front of the Princeville Hotel. Swimming is seasonal – best during the summer when the surf is usually calm.

Salt Pond Beach Park: This is the only natural salt pond in the state still used today by descendents of ancient Hawaiians to make sea salt. Do not enter the salt-making area without permission.

Shipwreck Beach: This beach was named for an old, wooden shipwreck that has long since disappeared. The hill is a lithified sand dune called Makawehi Point and is a popular fishing site.

2. Upon traveling to Hawaii (Oahu), I found myself at the most relaxing beach known to man. The water was very calm and the most gorgeous shade of turquoise. I floated on a raft for hours while the rest of my troubles just melted away. Kailua Beach can be found by taking the scenic Pali Highway 12 miles north of Honolulu towards the tiny beach community.

3. The Gulf of Mexico has always been intriguing to me because of the warm water and white sandy beaches.  On a Mexican adventure I took, I found Cozumel to have unbelievable snorkeling and scuba diving. The water temperature is very pleasant while at the same time viewing the most colorful and exotic fish I have ever seen.
