The last time we were at Mauna Kea beach on the Big Island, the red flags were up, indicating rough conditions. We had our boogie boards with us, and as a lifeguard came out of the water, he warned us, “Be careful out there. People get their necks snapped on days like today.” It sounds […]
Here’s a question for you: What’s one of Waikiki Beach’s biggest problems? It’s not topless sunbathing. It’s not sharks. It’s not even the void left behind with the passing of Don Ho.Erosion of Waikiki Beach is one of the biggest problems facing the No. 1 tourist destination in the islands, such […]
Best beach for keeping up with the Joneses (whoever they are) and maintaining your hip, in-the-know image: (That’s a no-brainer) Waikiki Beach on Oahu.
Best hike across what looks like a moonscape before finding yourself on a deserted black and white beach with a terrific array of tidepools: Kiholo Bay on the Northwest side of the […]
Mary Jo over at Flyaway Cafe and The Seattle Traveler posted recently a bit about “nakations,” or, vacations one can enjoy in the nude.

Hawaii is the Endangered Species Capital of the World. With […]
Glass Beach in Kaua’i has strong currents, dangerous shorebreak, high surf, a sudden drop-off, sharp coral, and slippery rocks. It’s near a trash dump, and is hard to find. The view is industrial, and pretty bleak. Why would you want to go there? […]

With features such as Ask the Big Kahuna, Best (Hidden) Places, local tips, and a calendar categorized by […]
We missed the boat the last time we stayed in Kona, on the Big Island. Literally. We were living it up in the Waikoloa Beach area, just yards from the Hilton Waikoloa Village, where there are over 60 acres of Kohala Coast made just for families like ours.The boat we missed is a little […]
If you find yourself in shallow water, or in close quarters with them, calmly and surely swim away. I’m nor talking about the berracuda, I’m talking about the Pacific’s prickliest pears, the “wana,” as they’re called. Commonly found on the ocean floor, rocks, and reefs, these sea urchins with needle-thin, sharp spines release […]
