Adventure Travel; "Into the Pacific": Hapuna Beach cabins

Every couple of months, we travel over to the Kona side and enjoy a beautiful, white sand oasis, known as Hapuna Beach Recreation Area. For visitors such as ourselves, seeking the entirely outdoor experience, we rent a cabin, nestled amongst several other cabins at the top of the hill. For thirty dollars local Kamaiina, or fifty dollars for non residents, one is treated to a rustic, cabin feel, each with a breathtaking ocean view! An air mattress is our main staple on this adventure, as the floors are concrete. However rustic, each cabin is clean, has a gorgeous view, showers and restrooms with your individual code, a main eating and recreation center, a full size stainless refrigerator, microwave, stove, pots, pans, countertops and dish detergent!
During the daytime hours, we spend the entire time at the white sand beach. The waves are the largest attraction for us, as well as other locals and visitors from around the world. As the hours and sun increase, one can escape to the small Three Frogs cafe at the top of the hill, or picnic under one of two covered pavilions. For even more privacy, individual pavilions with a picnic table and lovely view can be sought.
For those visitors looking for a luxury style vacation,the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel is located on the left hand side, overlooking the beach.There, locals can enjoy rates starting at 150 dollars per night and visitor rates start at 200. Beach chair rentals are available, as well as a restaurant inside.
A day, two or three, can be well spent at Hapuna Beach Recreation Area. Just bring your ID for free Kamaiina parking or $5 non resident parking. Enjoy the most beautiful and most popular white sand beach on the Big Island and remember Malama Aiina (respect the land) and leave no trace.
