Désolée, nous n'avons pas vu de bâteaux de croisière. Nous sommes arrivés par avion et habitions sur Alii Drive, tout près de Magic Sands. Et on a fait que ce coin, le sud de l'île plus précisément à Papakōlea green sand beach et Punalu'u black sand beach un peu plus vers l'est. Bon séjour.

We were there in December 2018 and it was sandy

We were there from December 14-24, 2018 and there was plenty of sand at that time and the weather was fantastic. It does depend on the tides when the sand leaves the beach but if there isn’t any when you go, there are many other beaches with great sand, especially if you drive a short distance.

The beach is small and easy to miss. Look for the magic sands hotel, (being renovated) on the right hand side, as you go south. Then park in the parking lot on the left hand side of the street. The actual beach is protected by a guard rail the entire length of the beach. It's hard to find a spot along the side of the road, so just go for the large gravel parking lot across the street. Unless you are a strong swimmer and in great physical shape, this may not be the time of year to go. Winter swells can produce an undertow that will pull you right out to sea.

About 1 hr drive
