Relax On The Beautiful Shores Of Hapuna Beach Hawaii

Enjoy a gorgeous sunset from the shores of Hapuna Beach Hawaii. Said to be one of the best beaches on the island, Hapuna Beach is everything you would expect, from the white sand and stunning blue water, to the beautiful scenery all around.

Hawaii’s Big Island, continues to grow from the generous supply of lava. Seeing as much of the island consists of lava rock, Hapuna Beach HI is surprisingly, one of the few white sand beaches. The beautiful blue of the ocean is a wonderful sight, as is the rest of the beach. The white sand flows up from the water to be surrounded by lush greenery, captivating the viewers attention.

Just off the shore is the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel. Situated on the bluffs above the beach tourists staying at the hotel have a stunning view of the ocean.  The whole beach, including the beachfront at the hotel, is a public area, welcoming tourists and locals.

Hapuna in the Hawaiian language means “Spring of Life”.  It was named this because, in ancient times, during seasons of heavy rainfall; underground springs would bubble to the surface to create natural fountains. These natural springs would provide clean water for travelers passing by.

In the summer the waves are fairly calm and mornings at the beach are warm and lovely, by late afternoon the sand can get quite hot. Unlike the summer months, the winter’s can be dangerous as the waves are huge and the current is stronger than most other times. When conditions are too dangerous to swim there is usually a sign posted in warning.
