11 Best Beaches in Hawaii, From Wailea to Lanikai | Condé Nast Traveler

"Good for: Jurassic Park vibes Thanks to its location on the secluded northeast tip of sleepy Molokai , southeast of Honolulu—arguably the least touristed of all the Hawaiian islands—Hālawa Beach Park feels like a utopia, completely undiscovered and untouched by time. It's made up of two coves separated by a rocky outcropping: a protected sandy crescent known as Kama'alaea Beach, and ruggedly beautiful Kāwili Beach, with its powerful surf (legend has it that Molokai Ali'i nui—or chiefs—loved to surf here in the 1800s). Backed by dense tropical forest, flanked by lush soaring mountains, and with views of distant waterfalls, you'll feel like you've stumbled into some magical, prehistoric paradise." - Kris Fordham
