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 place was nice! Nothing fancy, but big and with a good kitchen. The patio was nice, but looked out onto the public beach where some rough locals were constantly hanging out. Great walking distance to tourist trap area.

The room class that I had ordered was not available upon check in. A two Bedroom and ocean front. They gave me in a room that had a wall right in front of the best part of the view. My impression is they don’t place the Expedia reservations in a priority spot. I would call the hotel prior to arrival to confirm room assignment.
