If the waves at Hapuna beach big enough for bodyboarding in March?
Everything I'm not an expert, so I'm not talking about waves like those of the Banzai Pipeline or anything. I just want enough to have a good time with. My boyfriend and I traveled to the Big Island of Buffalo, New York this week to get married. Can anyone recommend some places to visit and things to see?
I think the waves at Hapuna would be good for a boogie boarder principle. 
This is a I list some time on the Big Island. (I used to live there, I live in Kauai. Now) pages cited are from the Big Island Revealed, Issue 3 1. Activities. Kayaking in Kealakekua Bay – rent our kayak Boys Kona (808-328-1234) and they were great! 2. Hike to the lava flows – reduce by crater chain road (in the Volcanoes National Park) to the end and walk to where the current flow. If you want to call ahead, the number is 808-985-6000. They have a pre-recorded update as to where the lava is flowing. I recommend staying in Hilo or a night B & B in Volcano Village if you decide to go to the volcano. Will the opportunity to really explore the park and not have to drive all the way to Kona on the same day! Very relaxing. Volcano Village is a great place. Aloha Junction (www.bbvolcano.com) is a nice little cheap B & B enjoy. They have a Jacuzzi – there is nothing like diving into a hot tub in the fog after a night of walking on lava! 3. At the foot of a waterfall alone – if you have the Big Island Revealed (3 rd edition), check out pages 228-229. That's all I need to say, except this: TAKE INSECT REPELLENT! We loved this walk and do it again (it's more of a wet walk up), but we have time to chew great for mosquitoes! Be prepared and be smarter than us – you'll love this! It's amazing and I never saw a soul all the time they were there. 4. Place of Refuge (Pu'uhonua O Honaunau) south of Kailua-Kona – Page 71 in Big Island revealed. A very nice, very Hawaiian. Important and interesting. 5. The Hamakua Coast Waterfalls – Rainbow Falls (you can drive straight it), Akaka Falls, Uma Uma Falls and Kahuna Falls. All are well worth it! I think the best time to see these falls is in the morning when the sun is right. Tomorrow is the most beautiful in Hilo and these falls are all on the Hilo side. Be sure to look out (if you're not the person driving!) For marking small waterfalls along the roadside while driving on the Hamakua Coast! 6. Beaches – Mauna Kea Beach (Kauna'oa), Hapuna Beach, and Kua Bay are my favorites. Kona Coast State Park (Kekaha Kai) is also very nice, but you need 4WD to get there. Rocky road indeed! Be sure to spend at least one day out and enjoy the sun. Use sunscreen! The sun in Hawaii is fried in a matter of minutes if you're not careful. Right Kahalu'u Beach in Kailua-Kona is a good beach for snorkeling. You can rent snorkeling gear for about $ 9/week Snorkel Bob's in Kailua-Kona (on the right, near the restaurant Hugg on Ali'i Drive). 7. Punalu'u Black Sand Beach – You can drive to the black sand great! Very. Lots of green sea turtles (protected in Hawaii, the endangered species) there. Some rest on the beach and you can take pictures! Just do not get too close. Respect their space or people will report. Trust me on this! (He rebuked people to harass me turtles.) Water is beautiful and cold reality in many places. It is fed by fresh water in some way and it's cold. A great place to spend some time out on the road to the volcano. 8. Green Sand Beach – page 173 in the main island developing. Either hike or drive in a 4WD vehicle. Do not take any of the sand either here or in Punalu'u (or anywhere else, really). The green and black sand, in particular, are finite and if every one takes a bit, there will have been in a few years. Sorry for the conference, but I'm so steamed when I see people filling the small bottles (or big bags!) Green and black sand beach! 9. Ahalanui – page 117 in the main island developing. Do not miss this if I can help! In fact, clean warm water ocean swimming really spring out of the way there trite and nothing like you've ever seen before (probably)! The water is hot because it is heated by the lava. Pretty neat! 10. Pacific Tsunami Museum – Museum Nice little focused on the 1946 and 1960 tsunamis that devastated Hilo. Cheap, very informative and interesting. Only about $ 5 to enter Closed Sunday. 11. Kalapana – This is the name of the city that was overrun by lava in 1990. Page 119 in Big Island revealed. Not much to see there, but it is interesting and there's a little food stand that sells hot dogs and other things there. 12. Kaumana Cave – Page 146 Big Island revealed. This is a nice little lava tube that you can walk in just a few meters from the road to a chair. If you do not want to drive the saddle (not so bad on track, but the car rental companies do not want you driving), can be reached in just a couple of miles from the Hilo side and find a cave there. It is very humid and pretty. We took our Christmas Picture Card for 2000! Restaurants, etc. 1. Tex Drive Inn in Honoka'a (On the way to Hilo) – make the best of bad news! They are a Portuguese donut without a hole and they are delicious! There is nothing like sitting on the lanai to Tex when it rains on the roof and is having a bad and a cup of coffee. Ahhhh … 2. Hugg on rocks on Ali'i Drive in Kailua-Kona – This is the place next to Hugg. On the Rocks is a bar type small place situated in the sand. The view is great and at night they have live music and hula. The service is often slow and sometimes even rude, but just enjoy the pupus (appetizers) and watch and do not care! 3. Kona Brewing Company (Brewpub) in Kailua-Kona – great local beer made excellent pizza! Not near the beach, but an environment nice anyway. Kohala pizza is great and I love the roasted garlic appetizer! 4. House of Pancakes in Hilo Ken – If you are over that way, it's worth a stop. Ken is open 24 hours, which on the Big Island is a rarity. Their menu is huge and the waitresses are almost all veterans. Good local grinds (food) at a good price. fun, too "Local." 5. Punalu'u Bakeshop in Na'alehu (south island, on the road to the volcano) – really yummy taro and guava bread – and cold-shirts of that state is the southernmost bakery in the U.S. – as well as Mac nut Ice Cream sandwiches dipped in chocolate! 6. (In Waikoloa) Roy – Exclusive Pacific Rim food. Roy is a string and all are in all the islands and the mainland. Roy I LOVE food and chocolate souffle is to die for! Well worth the worth a drive to Waikoloa … and you can shop in the King's Shops in the afternoon! 7. Kona Mix Plate – local style fast food. Try the crazy mucus or musubi SPAM! My son loves it. It is best to take a lunch plate and go to the beach for sunset. Very local and the type of thing to do. 8. Java on the Rock – same location Hugg on the rocks, but Java on the Rock is only for breakfast. Their fruit plate is great – you have to try rambutan! It's a strange hairy fruit is delicious! Good coffee and pastries and the view is very clear in the morning. Breakfast here almost every day on our trip in 2002. 9. Shaved Ice – Scandinavian Shave Ice on Ali'i Drive is pretty good. My favorite is li hing mui (like a really sweet plum flavor) serving soft ice cream in the background! Delicious. Try azuki beans too.
