Salt Pond Beach Park

A natural rock ridge turns the ocean into a swimming pool.

Our take

The reef ridge between two rocky points keeps the water calm and kid-friendly on a coast that's usually rowdy. Pavilions and lawns make it a full-day setup. The salt pans next door have been worked by Hanapepe families for generations, so give that ground its space.
