Any Hawaiian vacation is going to revolve around the beach. The destination is virtually synonymous with stunning stretches of sand (and RedWeek\u2019s vast inventory of by-owner Hawaiian vacation rentals<\/a> can get you within steps of some of the best). But the array of options when it comes to Hawaii beaches can be paralyzing. Which beach is right for you? We\u2019ve tried to narrow it down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Families With Younger Kids: Ala Moana Beach Park<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re traveling with kids, you can\u2019t go wrong with Ala Moana Beach Park. This Oahu<\/a> beach boasts calm and gentle waters that your younger ones will love splashing around in, as well as plenty of shady spots and picnic tables. When you need a break from the sun and sand, walk across the street to the Ala Moana Center, the world’s largest open-air shopping center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For Sunset Spotters: Hanalei Bay<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Located where the Hanalei River meets the sea, Hanalei Bay in Kauai<\/a> is beautiful all day long. But it\u2019s especially beautiful when the sun starts to dip into the Pacific. In the evening, find a place on the Hanalei Pier and enjoy a natural fireworks show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For Anyone In Need Of A Little Joy: Ko Olina Beach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKo Olina\u201d translates to \u201cplace of joy\u201d \u2014 and joy is what you\u2019ll feel when you lay eyes on Ko Olina Beach. This pristine spot consists of four lovely lagoons, all connected by serene seaside pathways, ideal for a romantic afternoon stroll. A few hours spent on Ko Olina Beach will restore your soul and spirit. Good to know: there are no lifeguards on duty here, so swim at your own risk! Also good to know: when you stay at Marriott’s Ko Olina Beach Club<\/a>, this beautiful beach will always be within reach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For The Underwater Explorer: Poipu Beach Park<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hawaii has no shortage of fantastic places to see what\u2019s happening beneath the waves. But if you had to single out the best snorkeling beach in the destination, Poipu Beach Park in Kauai<\/a> would be a safe bet. The crystal-clear waters here are great for viewing all kinds of dazzling marine life, from sea turtles to parrot fish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For The Person Who Wants Their Own Private Paradise: Waipio Valley Beach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Want to get away from it all? Waipio Valley Beach on the north shore of the Big Island<\/a> will do the trick. Be forewarned, it\u2019s a bit of a hike \u2014 three miles down a steep cliffside to be exact. But once you\u2019re there, you\u2019ll be rewarded with an evocative black-sand beach with very few crowds. There are no amenities here, but that\u2019s not what you\u2019re after, right? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For The Social Butterfly: Lanikai Beach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

On the other end of the spectrum, perhaps you\u2019re the extrovert-type who\u2019s always making new friends on vacation. Lanikai Beach in Kailua<\/a> is a place that regularly tops those \u201cbest beaches in the world\u201d lists \u2014 and with its gorgeous blue waters and fine white sand, it\u2019s easy to see why. As a result, Lanikai is, of course, extremely popular. But if a daylong beach party is what you\u2019re after, it can\u2019t be beat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For The Wannabe Surfer: Waikiki Beach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Located on the south shore of Honolulu<\/a>, Waikiki Beach is where iconic Hawaiian surfer Duke Kahanamoku caught his first waves \u2014 and he was instrumental in bringing the sport to the world. Fittingly, Waikiki Beach is the perfect place to begin your surfing adventures, with gentle waves and plenty of outfitters offering beginner-friendly lessons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

For The Serious Surfer: Waimea Beach Park<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you\u2019ve ridden your fair share of waves in the past. But you can\u2019t truly call yourself a serious surfer if you haven\u2019t made it to Waimea Beach Park. This is where the pros gather during the winter months to enjoy some of the greatest swells in the world \u2014\u00a0big-wave surfing at its best.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
