We've taken a slightly different approach to our list and slideshow of the best beaches in Hawaii.

We include four beaches from each of the four major islands: Big Island of Hawaii, Kauai, Maui and Oahu. We also include two beaches on the island of Lana'i and one on Moloka'i.

Our list is also presented in alphabetical order by island. We've intentionally included several, less well-known, beaches that we consider real gems.

'Anaeho'omalu Beach, Waikoloa Beach, Kohala Coast, Big Island of Hawaii

'Anaeho'omalu Beach is located on 'Anaeho'omalu Bay and adjacent to the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort & Spa on the Big Island's Kohala Coast.

The beach area features beautifully landscaped walking paths from the resort that meander past ancient Hawaiian fishponds to a golden sand beach fringed by swaying palm trees. Sunsets here are amazing.

A public parking area is available from Kuualii Place off of Waikoloa Beach Drive just past Queens' Marketplace if entering the Waikoloa Resort area.
