The Hawaiian Islands are home to 750 miles of stunning coastline — putting the island state behind Alaska, Florida, and California when it comes to coastline length. And while among that coastline you will find countless rock formations and sea cliffs, the beaches are what truly matters. From red and green sand beaches to man-made lagoons. the Hawaiian Islands are home to some of the world’s most interesting beaches. This beach, in particular, might just be one of the most unique in Hawaii.
Known as both Anaehoʻomalu Bay and Waikoloa Beach, this beach nestled along the South Kohala Coast of Hawaii Island is truly one-of-a-kind.
