What is the best beach in Hawaii?

I don't know how big waves you like to board, but I'll give you the rundown.  On O'ahu, there is always North Shore.  I'll tell you, you're going to be fighting the crowds though.  Everyone is trying to get in a photo mag and show their shit, so I'd avoid the popular spots (like Backdoors, Pipeline, etc).  There are plenty of places up north to surf that are less crowded.  Pull on the side of the road just about anywhere during a big swell and you'll find spots.  \n\nOn the east side there is Makapu'u and Sandy Beach.  Makapu'u gets some NNE swells and is monsterous at times.  I was in the water for a 12 foot local scale set and I about shit myself, mainly because it's a closeout on the beach.   However, most of the time it is not like this but of a decent rideable size.  Sandys is the same way, although somewhat smaller.  I don't like it here because it's always crowded, but don't let that hold you back.\n\nOn the west side, there's Tracks and Makaha, but both are predominantly surf spots.  Basically, if there are waves, you can find a spot.  Even in town on goood days you can go to Bowls or Kewalos.  \n\nAs for the other islands, on Maui there is Suicides, Makena, and Ho'okipa (among hundreds of others).  On the Big Island, most people go to Hapuna, Kua Bay, Makalawena, or one of the tourists spots in Kona.\n\nHappy hunting!

I believe all of the water sports are popular in Hawaii, especially surfing, boating, and  skiing.

pods.com is probably the best site for pods, but I'm not sure about going to Hawaii.

The largest waves are in the open ocean. These swells are much larger than any waves that are seen on any beach. \n\nIf you are talking about surfable waves the three locations with the largest rideable waves would probably be 1)Todos Santos, Mexico, 2) Mavericks, California, or 3)Peahi aka Jaws, off of Maui. \n\nTeahupo'o, Tahiti, is probably the largest, hollowest, barrels ridden.\n\nCheck out the links to see some of these monsters!\n\nhttp://www.billabongxxl.com/06/image_lrg.asp?image=kealaN.jpg&caption=+&img_path=img_news\n\n\nhttp://www.billabongxxl.com/06/index.asp?regid=NA

I went there on my honeymoon... In Kauai We stayed at the Hyatt & it was the most beautiful place I have ever stayed.. You have to check out the Na'pali coast... I went by boat but heard that the helicopter tour is the best way to see it...if you have extra cash to spend opt for the helicopter!   If you are going to the big Island, Valcano Nat'l. Park is crazy.  You can actually see lava pouring into the ocean... it is sick!

Oregon, Mount Hood, fabulous skiing, and the Oregon Coast, which has great waves, only around an hour and a half away.  If you don't want that much time to get to the beach, the california answer is better.

Rehoboth Beach is lovely.  They have some really great restraunts there too.

I'd have to say Teahupo in Tahiti. Check out this pictorial:\n\nhttp://www.surfline.com/surfnews/2005_09_13_tahiti_r1.cfm\n\nThe wave doesn't even look real. The thing about Waimea and Mavericks is that they still look like normal waves, just on a much much bigger scale. Teahupo, on the other hand, looks like the whole ocean is just folding over on a shallow reef.

Hey there Nashville! I live there too!\n\nHow about a Hawaiin Luau?  It's fun for all ages and can be done on a low budget.  You can get little tiki straws, hula skirts, etc.  Make it a Luau on the "beach" too.  If your parents will allow it, crank the heat WAY up to make it hot hot hot and have a small wading pool and beach balls. (FYI, I attended a party like this when I was 16, complete with sunglasses and summer gear, and it was one of the funnest parties I ever went to!)

Everyone knows that coastal Delaware and Maryland are known for their ski resorts.  I would go to Snow Hill, Maryland which is just west of Rehobeth Beach.  You could also go water skiing but no, that's another whole different thingie.

The beach if you are near one.  Otherwise somewhere that has as many visible stars as possible.
