OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The Big Island makes up for its dearth of
beaches with a few spectacular ones, like
Anaehoomalu, or A-Bay, as the locals call
it. This popular gold-sand beach, fringed by
a grove of palms and backed by royal fish
ponds still full of mullet, is one of
Hawaii's most beautiful. It fronts the
Marriott Waikoloa Beach Resort and is
enjoyed by guests and locals alike (it's
busier in summer, but doesn't ever get truly
crowded). The beach slopes gently from
shallow to deep water; swimming, snorkeling,
diving, kayaking, and windsurfing are all
excellent here. Equipment rental and
snorkeling, scuba, and windsurfing
instruction are available at the north end
of the beach. At the far edge of the bay,
snorkelers and divers can watch endangered
green sea turtles line up and wait their
turn to have small fish clean them.
Facilities include restrooms, showers,
picnic tables, and plenty of parking. |
