My Top 30 Best Beaches and Snorkeling Spots on the Big Island of Hawaii (Black Sand & Green Sand)

https://www.jordanoutside.com/big-island-hawaii We just got back from our 8-day trip to the Big Island of Hawaii and we are going to share our top 30 best beaches/snorkeling spots. We stayed in Kailua-Kona on the west side, so we started our adventures north of Kona up on the northwest side of the island. We then headed south along the west coast of the Big Island. From the southernmost point we headed east along the southern coast. Here’s a list of the beaches and snorkeling spots in order. We also have a full video for each destination. We didn’t make it to Hilo and that side of the island so we will have to do a different video for that side when we go back. This list should help you maximize your time on the Big Island of Hawaii if you are staying on the west side by Kailua-Kona. Enjoy!
