Kauna'oa (Mauna Kea) Beach, Big Island, Hawaii
Still somewhat of a hidden gem, Kauna'oa lies at the front of the historic Mauna Kea Hotel. You'll find sparkling white sand, coco palms, and great snorkeling here, but you'll need to get there early to secure one of only 40 coveted public parking spots at the beach.
