Beautiful Waialea Beach is Easy for Visitors to Find and Access
Waialea Beach is usually quite clear and provides for a great snorkeling experience primarily in the summer months when the beach is usually fairly calm. In the winter month much of the sand will disappear on its annual pilgrimage to deeper water and so it will become more difficult to find a great place to lay-out and in addition the currents and waves can make this beach a dangerous one at this time. In fact, since it is not overlooked by a life guard tower this beach can be a danger at any time of year. Should you have questions about the safety of the waters here you can easily drive about one-mile up the coast to the beautiful Hapuna Beach where you will find not only one, but two lifeguard towers.
Waialea Beach Facilities are Excellent
Another draw to Waialea Beach is that it has excellent facilities including a large, clean restroom, showers, picnic tables and a large parking area. Among the locals Waialea Beach is also referred to as “Beach 69” evidently because that was the number on the telephone pole that stood in front of the beach for a number of years. Whatever name you call it, this beach is one of the best.
