Hāpuna

Wahi ｜ Location, Hawaiʻi Place Names (2002),

Bay, beach, surf site, Hāpuna, Hawaiʻi. Flat calcareous sand beach fronted by a shallow sandbar that is the longest and widest calcareous sand beach on the island. During the summer months, the beach is 200 feet wide. A state park borders the south half of the beach, and the Hāpuna Beach Prince Hotel borders the north half. The surf site is a shorebreak on the sandbar. State law permits only bodysurfing and body-boarding in the shorebreak. Board surfing is not allowed. Hāpuna is the island's most popular beach, with beachgoers often driving from every corner of the island on weekends and holidays. The 1.1-mile Big Island Rough Water Swim has been held here every summer since 1979. The racecourse circles the bay.
