Mountains in the background, ocean in front and three miles of sand underfoot, Hanalei Bay on Kauai is a surfer’s and paddle boarder’s dream, with a reef to the right-hand side of the bay looking out to sea.

You have to pay a fee to get into this stunning beach, but boy is it worth it. Imagine a postcard of pure beach beauty, then Photoshop the blues to be even bluer and the yellow-white sand to be even softer and you have Trunk Bay.

Highlight: Snorkelers get a little treat with plaques embedded into the sea floor with information about what they’re looking at.
