Waimea

Waimea is the secret you’ll want to keep but the name you’ll want to shout from the cliff tops. 

Resting easy near the top of the Big Island, Waimea is an area of sweeping grassland plains and picturesque rural towns. Ranches offer horseback riding and glimpses of cowboys along the way. Nearby, find the tight, winding road where the steep, green cliffs part, revealing a black sand beach and crashing waves. This hidden spot is where locals barbecue, picnic and swim – and it’s an Insta-haven for the lucky tourists who manage to find it. Waimea is the Hawaii you never knew existed, and the one you’ll never forget.
