Few things are better than an afternoon beside the sea. Gather the troops, pack a picnic and enjoy the fresh air at Waialea Beach.

This stretch of coastline in Kamuela comes recommended by travelers, so put it on your must-see list. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are many more spots waiting for you to explore after Waialea Beach. Hapuna Beach State Park, Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic Site, and Mauna Kea Beach are not far away.

The staff was amazing! Room cleaning was top notch. Amenities were great..only thing we would like to see change is remove carpet from room. Its kinds dirty/shaby.. also the shower was a little smelly. Maybe some drain cleaning under the strainer.. We look forward to the return.
