"Big Spider, Big Island Not going for any photo awards here. I just feel compelled to document the occasional blindingly repulsive aspects of travel now and then. This godless creature haunted an otherwise lovely Hawaiian romp. In fact, it still haunts me."

The name "Magic Sand" probably came from the texture of the sand resembling the kinetic magic sand toy. Great vibes, very small parking lot, attentive lifeguards, with a restaurant right next door. Not a big beach, but it's cute and we went there three times in one week. During the high surf on Dec 21st, half the beach disappeared because the huge waves took the sand away 😱 absolutely crazy.

It is a beautiful beach, but it can get quite rough and you end up with sand all over your body when you leave the beach. I saw a lot of young families, the elderly, and teenagers there. Every age had fun and it was a paradise, we stayed for two hours because of the waves, it was beautiful and it was fun for my family. We were quite sore and tired afterward, we'll never forget this experience.

It was beautiful and clear. We got there early that we were able to park in the lot. This beach had a lifeguard, which made me feel safe since the waves were pretty strong for a mediocre swimmer. We also missed the tiger shark which forced people to leave the water for a couple of hours!

Nice, small, sandy, shady small Park lined with rocks. A small patch of sand for getting in the water to go snorkeling. A delightful place.

If you want to ride some waves off the beach, this is the spot. Comes with lifeguards which are needed since it also has the highest number of spinal injuries from the waves. There’s a decent restaurant next door when you’re pooped from being beaten by waves. There are boogie board rentals down the street at the surf shack.

Magical. It is a beautiful beach with all the services like showers and restaurants nearby. There is a parking lot but they fill easily. There is on-street parking but be prepared to walk a bit. Really beautiful sunset views.

One of the few sand beaches in Kona. Beautiful, but crowded. Be sure to pay for your parking, respect the beach and buy something at the little coffee/acai bowl place next door to support the local businesses.
