Quiet Hawaiian beaches
Vacationing in Hawaii is truly paradise and getting away to secluded beaches and small towns adds to the experience and creates lasting memories. Exclusive resorts and island hospitality make a perfect combination. With a little imagination and a few good tips, finding that perfect beach getaway is possible for travelers.
The Big Island
On the Big Island of Hawaii, there are places that are considered barely discovered by those that live there. The town of Puna is no exception and those looking for quiet will find it here, in fact the neighboring town of Pahoa, once a railroad town still has wooden sidewalks. Just 35 minutes from the Hilo airport and past sugar cane fields and papaya plantations visitors will arrive in the town of Puna and to the vacation rental property called Honu Kai, a completely remodeled luxury vacation home. Directly in front of the house are tide pools containing exotic fish and sea turtles. The protected coral reef provides 80 degree water C to swim in all year or gather snorkeling gear for an extraordinary view of the undersea world.
An Historical Setting
The Island of Molokai has a fascinating history as a leper colony in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Now it is an island that chooses a calmer sort of life without a single stoplight in town. Though it is quiet, visitors will find themselves busy relaxing on the white sand beaches and snorkeling and swimming in the warm ocean water. The West Molokai Resort offers ocean view accommodations and from December to May experience the sound of humpback whales on their annual migration route. Visitors enjoy cycling, sailing, fishing and stargazing while staying at this quiet beachfront resort.
Laid-back Ambience
In the town of Paia on Maui's North Shore, visitors are enthralled by the small town atmosphere and the quaint shopping areas. In the heart of this town sits Paia Inn Hotel, a renovated hotel with boutique sensibility. Guests enjoy private beach access and are just steps from the white sand beaches. Once a sugar cane plantation, this little town has a lot to offer with international cuisine, note worthy galleries and is the windsurfing capital of the world. The Paia Inn prides itself on laid-back ambience and outstanding service.
