Hāpuna is a Hawaiian word meaning "spring of the life," and this beach (above) is one of Hawai'i´s most loved by visitors as well as locals. On the south Kohala Coast, it is awash with soft white sand, calm azure water, and breathtaking sunsets (in winter, however, the tides might make it a bit too rough to swim, though there is a chance to observe whales migrating along on the beach). The beach is a favorite for families for boogie-boarding, with many saying it is their favorite spot on the entire island. Some complain about the absence of formal facilities like restrooms and a concessions stand because of a leak in a water pipe. There are however portable toilets.
