“Tip 1: Use Reef Safe Sunscreen. Research has found that chemicals commonly found in most sunscreens cause coral bleaching and kill the reef. So if you hit the beach, please use reef-safe sunscreens!”

“Tip 2: Bring a hat. It’s a great way to let your body get some vitamin D without burning your face, which can cause premature aging, and protects your eyes.”

“Tip 3: Bring a reusable water bottle (stainless steel is preferred).”

“Tip 4: Wear shoes or flip flops. Sand gets HOT and shells can cut feet!”

“Tip 5: Lip balm with an SPF of 30 is recommended. It’s great for those spots (lips, earlobes, etc.) that tend to burn faster under the intense Hawaiian sun.”

“Tip 6: If you want to smoke or drink alcohol, don’t do it on the beach. It’s illegal to smoke or drink on beaches and in State Parks.”

“Tip 7: If you’re new to the area, always check to see if the beach has amenities. It’s never fun to need a bathroom when one is not to be found, especially if you have little ones.”

“Fun Beach Fact: All of Hawaiʻi’s beaches are FREE! Beaches are also in the public domain so no one can own a beach or restrict access - but always use a public access and do not cross private property. Always respect neighboring private property when accessing the beach.”
