Papa'a Bay Beach

This beach is supposedly cool, but let's be real - it's just another strip of sand and water like any other. Sure, it's secluded, but that just means you won't have anyone to complain to about how underwhelming it is. And don't even get me started on the hike to get there - it's not impossible, but it's definitely not worth the effort. If you really want to waste your time, just follow the boring trail from the parking lot and crawl over some rocks. But honestly, you're better off finding a beach that's actually worth your time.

I was fortunate enough to witness one of the most stunning beaches I have ever laid my eyes on. However, it's imperative to take caution as the parking area is not secure. Unfortunately, my companions and I fell victim to local delinquents who broke into our vehicle and took our belongings.

Although the beach is secluded and tranquil, it can be challenging to reach, hence one star deducted. However, this also means that you will likely have the entire beach to yourself. To access the beach, park at 'Aliomanu Beach Parking, but be aware that Google maps may direct you to a road with no beach access. Take the path at the beginning of the parking area, which will lead you to the coast after a somewhat steep walk. You will then need to climb over boulders for about 75-100 yards before arriving at the beach. Please note that this may not be suitable for small children or those with limited mobility.

The journey to this hidden gem may be challenging, but trust me, it's worth every bit of effort. This beach is undoubtedly one of the most stunning and secluded ones I've ever had the privilege to visit. Although it's rumored to be owned by a billionaire who's attempting to keep it under wraps, it's still accessible to the public. Take advantage of this opportunity while you still can! While it may be difficult to obtain details about this beach, navigating your way there is a breeze. I give this beach five stars for its unparalleled beauty and complete privacy. If you're seeking a true paradise island experience in Hawaii, this is the place to be.

The beach features a stunning sandy shoreline that is sure to captivate any visitor. It is advisable to disregard Google's directions as they may lead you down a private dirt road up north. My rating for this beach is 4 stars, primarily because during my visit in July 2017, there was a deserted truck that was being buried on the beach. I hope that the authorities will take action and remove it soon.
