Spencer Beach Park

Highlight • Beach

Spencer Beach has soft, white sandy shores, calm water, bathrooms, and nearby parking. Samuel M Spencer Beach Park is a great daytime destination for beachgoers or a nighttime destination for campers looking to hear the waves crash under while going to bed. It is one of the most northern white sand beaches on the Big Island; much further north, most beaches are rocky.

May 26, 2024,Wanderung von Spencer Beach to Mauna kea beach

Spencer Beach and Mauna Kea Beach are very beautiful. But the path is not that special, it goes through rubble from construction sites and around fenced private properties, as well as through a golf course.
Not a must
