1. CASTLES BEACH – OAHU – HAWAII

We absolutely love this fun, little surf break. Castles Beach is a popular surf spot for families, kids and budding surfers. Located in Kahuku, it is incredibly ideal for groups of friends to gather for an entire day at the beach.

With on-site camping, the park provides yurts, huts and tent areas to rent right on the beach. Bonfires are readily available with freshly chopped wood, and picnic tables to enjoy your meals on the beach are in reach.

Castles is a popular destination for children of all ages to play in the water and catch their first wave in a safe environment. In addition, Castles never fails to entertain teenagers and adults both young and old looking to catch a party wave with all their buddies.

You can follow the latest surf report for Castles Beach here. The surf is year-round, mellow and tons of fun.

2. HIDDEN BEACH – TUVALU

Hidden Beach is located outside the tiny island of Tuvalu. Accessible only by a fishing boat, it takes about 45 minutes to arrive. Few know this hidden paradise as it rests within the borders of one of the world’s smallest countries, Tuvalu.

The water is crystal clear and incredibly warm – with sand made up of hundreds of thousands of coral reef and shells.

3. KEIKIS BEACH – OAHU – HAWAII

Keikis Beach, located on the North Shore of Oahu, stretches for miles leaving you and yours with next to no one around.

With grains of sand big enough to get stuck between your toes and water clear enough you can see straight to the bottom, Keikis is a magical place to swim and sunbathe any time of the year.

During the winter, waves are huge and break violently right on the shore – so if you plan on going in, you need to take caution.

At all other times of the year, the water is flat and beautiful and ideal for snorkeling, swimming and floating in your favorite flotation tubes.

For those of you interested in taking up lodging on the beach, visit Keiki Beach Bungalows to snag a place for your next trip!

4. KALALAU BEACH – KAUA’I – HAWAII

Kalalau Beach is one of the most pristine and gorgeous stretches of sand known to man.

Located on the island of Kaua’i, any visitor to this paradise must first endure a rigorous and expert level 11-mile hiking trail along cliffs that jut high into the sky.

After a few days of hiking and stunning views, Kalalau Beach rests at the end of the trail as your precious reward. Nothing beats that. Period.
