====FOUNDATION NOTES====<br />
Hi Zac,<br />
<br />
Tobin asked that I contact you and discuss the foundation.<br />
<br />
It is a bit odd to be working over this distance and to be out of the Boston building scene. I was a builder for 32 years, building new houses for over 20 years. Mostly I built first-time homebuyer 2-3 story, 1-4 family urban infill housing, in 10-14 unit projects on lots vacant either by arson or the difficulty in building on them. Sometimes there were houses there before or there was garbage or peat or pudding stone or a steep hill. I worked for many different developers, architects and city agencies. We would build houses for prices my carpenters could afford. Our competition was the modular guys. <br />
<br />
My foundation sub would run 8' walls + footings for $15/linear foot. In around 100 houses we hardly ever used anything but 10"x20" footings, occasionally 10" x 24" We built full basements mostly, 10" walls, a few rows of #4 bar, sometimes vertical @ 2' or 4' OC, occasionally we had dowels coming out of the footing into the wall.<br />
<br />
When I got home from vacation on Sunday and got to look at a set of plans I was surprised how engineered it was. This is a little house and a small addition. This morning I went through the foundation (ch4) and wall construction (ch6) of the 2011 OR residential specialty code for 1-2 family houses. Everything seemed familiar and not so engineered. <br />
<br />
Footings in seismic D1 need to have (1) # 4 bar horiz.lengthwise and @4'OC vertically extending 14" into the wall. The wall needs (1) #4 horizontally within the first 12" and maybe another halfway down. Looking at the braced wall panel requirements for the first floor, where we don't meet the continuous sheathing with structural wall panels (WSP) reqs, it looks like all you need is 1800LBF for the hold_downs. You can get that and more just sinking those DTT22 strap anchors 10" into the concrete and fastening to the studs through the sheathing. All if this can be done by the proverbial equivalent to $15/lf form guys, there 3 hours for the footings and a day for the walls. Tobin and/or I would be there to lay it out, shoot the grades and set the anchors.<br />
<br />
For this job BOF to TOW is only about 26" in most cases, so with 10" footings the stem wall is from 1-3' high. In talking to you from my vacation I optimistically understood that the only real change was going to be turning the corner on the north wall to support the shear wall by the refrigerator.<br />
<br />
With the 16" deep footings and the complex steel and the squirrelly anchor bolts that go through the entire wall and footing (and sometimes through the bottom of the footings), the $15/lf guys are out of their league. They can't really and don't want to do 16" deep footings or anything non-standard. So you have to hire the kind of guys you give the plans to and they charge you an extra $2-3K and it takes an extra couple of days. Tobin is on a tight budget and can afford neither the added expense or the time.<br />
<br />
I'd like to figure out a more cost effective solution that you feel good about. It seems the sticking point is the connection line between the addition and the house. My initial sense was that the new condition isn't that much more unbalanced than the present condition of finish grade 8" from TOF. I was thinking 2" of foam to isolate the existing floor framing and sill from the new slab and that since the existing foundation is loaded by the house and laterally supported by the floor framing, it could easily take the compaction and the edge of the slab could be thickened to extend below the existing sill. <br />
<br />
I wouldn't have a problem pouring a 10" deep footing across that span with a couple of horizontal lengthwise bars tied into each corner, effectively closing the loop. I don't see why most of the rest couldn't be according to the prescriptive code as described above. Under the refrigerator sheer wall I'd like to stay with a 10" deep footing but we could make it wider and add some more steel there. I'm not sure what I am missing. The addition is so small, the foundation will end up essentially with balanced backfill and there is floor 9' above tieing all the walls together.<br />
<br />
I think this is a good design. Tobin and Laura will be happy every winter day when they step on their floor. But if we can't simplify it and make it more prescriptive and less expensive then maybe he should end up back to a crawl space and a framed first floor. I hope that doesn't happen. Talk to you tomorrow. Tobin knows my constraints, I'll let him schedule the time with you.<br />

7/7<br />
<br />
There is a new drawing B in docs. I moved the addition 2" away from the existing house and then fooled with the other slopes and ceiling heights. I made the ceiling in the new space 9', the slope 7/12 and the clear space in the corners ~4'high. The wireframe lines are all the outermost lines of the framing. <br />
<br />
6/28<br />
<br />
I looked at making the plan more buildable and less engineered. The idea is to make the box a 24'x24' square. Then the 4 valley rafters land on the 4 corners of the box. The corners can hold up the valleys and we will have a center post anyway. Once the framing is done and the roof is felted then just go to demo.<br />
<br />
Take off the entire existing roof and put it in a dumpster. Say we will use the existing walls but we'll put them in the dumpster too.<br />
<br />
Re-frame the first floor walls. Put in posts for the hip in the exterior walls Frame a new front gable as a true gable with real valleys. Frame a new roof and then roof the whole thing.Plans are enclosed. I'll revise the schedule.<br />
<br />
<br />
6/27<br />
<br />
Could be an interesting structure. Or impossible :)<br />
<br />
Start thinking about it. Here's some things to think about.<br />
<br />
As a 21' box it was kind of like the garage. For small roofs back 'rules of thumb work and a single 2x12 valley was all that was needed. I was reading last night that for every foot you extend the valley rafter the load increases to the 5th power. For the 24' box the valleys become single lvl117/8's. <br />
<br />
In the most normal roof you keep the walls from bowing out with the ceiling joists. It gets tricky as the point load at the base of the valley gets big. (2/3) of the valley weight) It wants to push out the corners. But we should be able to make that OK with some corner strap fab.<br />
<br />
The tricky part isn't the west valleys, its the east valleys. With the ~ 20'x24' box they land some 4' into the old structure way up in the air at the original ridge. Some how we are going to have to trussify the east edge of the stair landing to resist the movement out of the valleys (among other directions they want to go south and north).<br />
<br />
The really tricky part is the hip rafters running from the old ridge to the new ridge. How do you keep them from bowing out? On the north side you could build a continuous post to the ridge and maybe have this structural tie from the top of the post to the stair platform just right of the stairs. That would be weird but maybe cool. The south hip is trickier as we started to see last night. Perhaps there will be a rod running across the ridge from base of south hip to base of north hip. Or maybe there is another solution or maybe its impossible.<br />
<br />
This, it seems is the next thing to figure out.<br />
<br />
Call me when you get a chance. Im out at 1:40<br />

<br />
repeat of question: where is the drain?<br />
<br />
Building an addition is way more difficult and time consuming than 'I have a backhoe handy why not'. The things that are most difficult to do in additions is make the connection to the existing structure so the floor and every thing line up and the roof works. You could frame a new house in the time it takes to detail the connection from one box to an existing structure. The house next door is ugly. You don't fix that by building to it. Its the south side. A couple of fruit trees would be more valuable as a buffer than would building a bigger box.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tobin's plan:====<br />
Hard to talk about a plan not to scale, you got a scanner?<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
It seems big and boxy. Lumber is expensive. I don't think the roof over the porches fixes the boxiness. <br />
<br />
If you don't do design development with closets, then you get in trouble later.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor plan:=====<br />
<br />
It is incredible to me how people end up using so little of their houses. I think it's because rooms are too big and spread apart. A home really only has one center and that's where people want to hang out. It always includes the kitchen. Here your living room area is so remote from your kitchen. The space between the woodstove and the table and the space between the table and the stairs seem too big, too uninteresting and too expensive. The dining room table is the focal point of the house. It seems odd to me.<br />
<br />
My tendency is to think of the stair as the core of the house. Your eye move around and up.<br />
<br />
Your structure and walls are there to create spaces. Interior walls are responsible for creating spaces on both sides. The walls of the bedroom and mudroom do create those spaces but do little (or actually work against) creating spaces in the main living area, it feels like they jut into it.<br />
<br />
Porch seems so skinny. Even 6' seems too narrow, 8' seems better; you can fit around a table, walk by another person. The other challenge is solar gain on the south side. Ideally the overhang/roof structure shades the house in the summer but lets in all the winter sunlight. South west is more problematic, I'd rather be shaded by a tree than have sun in the summer afternoon. In winter when the leaves are gone you can take all that gain.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
<br />
3 new full baths? There goes most of your $30,000<br />
<br />
The 2nd floor bath on south side is under the existing roof plan. You need to reconfigure the roof to accommodate it.<br />
<br />
I find the common space to seem large, awkward and uninteresting.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tim's plan:====<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
I think the first floor plan works and the second floor plan doesn't. The second floor really needs to be 3' wider and 2' closer to the garage (still 6' away) in order to accommodate 2 bedrooms a bath a study and lots of closet space.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor:=====<br />
I think the main problems are what feels like inefficiency of the space outside the bathroom and bedroom. Perhaps the bedroom closet would be better off on the bath wall. I think you could grab more of that space for the bath.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
11' seems to be a better minimum for bedroom dimension, not including closets. 3' wider takes you taller too. Maybe tall enough to think of a little loft in the center.<br />
<br />
====Buidability:====<br />
<br />
The game as I see it is to build the smallest amount possible and get the biggest bang for the buck. with $35,000 you are in the business of cost optimization, big time.<br />
<br />
If you start fucking around with adding boxes on multiple sides you'd be better off blowing up the existing house, You'll spend less time and money. Unfortunately you won't have a place to live.<br />
<br />
Which brings me to the other constraint. How to build this while you live there so the dog and the girlfriend don't dump you before you finish it (if you ever do). <br />
<br />
First you keep it simple. Second you keep the work are as localized as possible. Third you divide the work into<br />
<br />
This is how I thought of building what i drew:<br />
<br />
<br />
*plans filed day after closing<br />
<br />
*plans approved 7/14<br />
<br />
*phase 1: big box<br />
**a: (july 17-23) sub this out if you can get it done this week<br />
::excavation/foundation behind house. Probably only need 3 sides; along the existing u just need 2-3 2'x2' footings for columns since that whole wall will likely open to the existing house.<br />
<br />
**b:(july 25- 31) (crew of 4, 9 hr days, 8 days)<br />
::Frame roof windows tyvek.<br />
<br />
*phase 2: <s>move to f1 bedroom</s><br />
::<s>Create 1st floor bedroom, move into it. You can do this since south side of the existing roof isn't getting changed. Well actually it is getting changed a bit. </s> Forget it. It will take to long. Move to basement of Portland library for a week and a half.<br />
<br />
*phase 3: (August 1-21) connect and finish the roofs.<br />
<br />
**Take off roof from south side of stairs north. demo and cleanup 1.5 days (I'll be at beach)<br />
<br />
**Put in the south hip rafter beams. There will be a hole on the ridge to pick up the support for the hip rafter running from ridge to new structure. For the section south of the stairs the new roof will just be slapped over the old. 1 day<br />
<br />
**Put in north side hip rafter beam and beam under gable window. 1 day<br />
<br />
**Frame and sheath the new east roof 1 day<br />
<br />
**Frame east gable and roof. 2 days<br />
<br />
**Complete the north and south sections and connect to addition. 2 days<br />
<br />
***complete roof 5 days<br />
***start roofing finished sections crew of 2 while...<br />
***strip roof of existing 1 person while<br />
***dig and pour porch corner pier while<br />
<br />
***frame porch roof overlaid on existing<br />
<br />
*phase 4 (August 24-Sept 1)<br />
**create temporary functional living space<br />
<br />
*phase 5: (fall/winter/spring) Tim comes for Christmas, February and April Break.<br />
*interior framing, mechanicals, electrical,insulation sheet rock.<br />
<br />
phase 6: (finish carpentry )<br />
<br />

This thing about not going full width is killing me. I feel like if we are renting an excavator bob cat we should be able to excavate to extend that front corner out for full width. <br />
<br />
If we don't, we are basically leaving space for a driveway that we don't need and not taking advantage of the width the alley affords us. All it gives you is a side yard that's pretty useless space with a view of a big garage.<br />
<br />
So I guess I need you to convince me if you really think this is the wrong way to go.<br />

Hi, <br />
<br />

7/7<br />
<br />
There is a new drawing B in docs. I moved the addition 2" away from the existing house and then fooled with the other slopes and ceiling heights. I made the ceiling in the new space 9', the slope 7/12 and the clear space in the corners ~4'high. The wireframe lines are all the outermost lines of the framing. <br />
<br />
6/28<br />
<br />
I looked at making the plan more buildable and less engineered. The idea is to make the box a 24'x24' square. Then the 4 valley rafters land on the 4 corners of the box. The corners can hold up the valleys and we will have a center post anyway. Once the framing is done and the roof is felted then just go to demo.<br />
<br />
Take off the entire existing roof and put it in a dumpster. Say we will use the existing walls but we'll put them in the dumpster too.<br />
<br />
Re-frame the first floor walls. Put in posts for the hip in the exterior walls Frame a new front gable as a true gable with real valleys. Frame a new roof and then roof the whole thing.Plans are enclosed. I'll revise the schedule.<br />
<br />
<br />
6/27<br />
<br />
Could be an interesting structure. Or impossible :)<br />
<br />
Start thinking about it. Here's some things to think about.<br />
<br />
As a 21' box it was kind of like the garage. For small roofs back 'rules of thumb work and a single 2x12 valley was all that was needed. I was reading last night that for every foot you extend the valley rafter the load increases to the 5th power. For the 24' box the valleys become single lvl117/8's. <br />
<br />
In the most normal roof you keep the walls from bowing out with the ceiling joists. It gets tricky as the point load at the base of the valley gets big. (2/3) of the valley weight) It wants to push out the corners. But we should be able to make that OK with some corner strap fab.<br />
<br />
The tricky part isn't the west valleys, its the east valleys. With the ~ 20'x24' box they land some 4' into the old structure way up in the air at the original ridge. Some how we are going to have to trussify the east edge of the stair landing to resist the movement out of the valleys (among other directions they want to go south and north).<br />
<br />
The really tricky part is the hip rafters running from the old ridge to the new ridge. How do you keep them from bowing out? On the north side you could build a continuous post to the ridge and maybe have this structural tie from the top of the post to the stair platform just right of the stairs. That would be weird but maybe cool. The south hip is trickier as we started to see last night. Perhaps there will be a rod running across the ridge from base of south hip to base of north hip. Or maybe there is another solution or maybe its impossible.<br />
<br />
This, it seems is the next thing to figure out.<br />
<br />
Call me when you get a chance. Im out at 1:40<br />

repeat of question: where is the drain?<br />
<br />
Building an addition is way more difficult and time consuming than 'I have a backhoe handy why not'. The things that are most difficult to do in additions is make the connection to the existing structure so the floor and every thing line up and the roof works. You could frame a new house in the time it takes to detail the connection from one box to an existing structure. The house next door is ugly. You don't fix that by building to it. Its the south side. A couple of fruit trees would be more valuable as a buffer than would building a bigger box.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tobin's plan:====<br />
Hard to talk about a plan not to scale, you got a scanner?<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
It seems big and boxy. Lumber is expensive. I don't think the roof over the porches fixes the boxiness. <br />
<br />
If you don't do design development with closets, then you get in trouble later.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor plan:=====<br />
<br />
It is incredible to me how people end up using so little of their houses. I think it's because rooms are too big and spread apart. A home really only has one center and that's where people want to hang out. It always includes the kitchen. Here your living room area is so remote from your kitchen. The space between the woodstove and the table and the space between the table and the stairs seem too big, too uninteresting and too expensive. The dining room table is the focal point of the house. It seems odd to me.<br />
<br />
My tendency is to think of the stair as the core of the house. Your eye move around and up.<br />
<br />
Your structure and walls are there to create spaces. Interior walls are responsible for creating spaces on both sides. The walls of the bedroom and mudroom do create those spaces but do little (or actually work against) creating spaces in the main living area, it feels like they jut into it.<br />
<br />
Porch seems so skinny. Even 6' seems too narrow, 8' seems better; you can fit around a table, walk by another person. The other challenge is solar gain on the south side. Ideally the overhang/roof structure shades the house in the summer but lets in all the winter sunlight. South west is more problematic, I'd rather be shaded by a tree than have sun in the summer afternoon. In winter when the leaves are gone you can take all that gain.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
<br />
3 new full baths? There goes most of your $30,000<br />
<br />
The 2nd floor bath on south side is under the existing roof plan. You need to reconfigure the roof to accommodate it.<br />
<br />
I find the common space to seem large, awkward and uninteresting.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tim's plan:====<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
I think the first floor plan works and the second floor plan doesn't. The second floor really needs to be 3' wider and 2' closer to the garage (still 6' away) in order to accommodate 2 bedrooms a bath a study and lots of closet space.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor:=====<br />
I think the main problems are what feels like inefficiency of the space outside the bathroom and bedroom. Perhaps the bedroom closet would be better off on the bath wall. I think you could grab more of that space for the bath.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
11' seems to be a better minimum for bedroom dimension, not including closets. 3' wider takes you taller too. Maybe tall enough to think of a little loft in the center.<br />
<br />
====Buidability:====<br />
<br />
The game as I see it is to build the smallest amount possible and get the biggest bang for the buck. with $35,000 you are in the business of cost optimization, big time.<br />
<br />
If you start fucking around with adding boxes on multiple sides you'd be better off blowing up the existing house, You'll spend less time and money. Unfortunately you won't have a place to live.<br />
<br />
Which brings me to the other constraint. How to build this while you live there so the dog and the girlfriend don't dump you before you finish it (if you ever do). <br />
<br />
First you keep it simple. Second you keep the work are as localized as possible. Third you divide the work into<br />
<br />
This is how I thought of building what i drew:<br />
<br />
<br />
*plans filed day after closing<br />
<br />
*plans approved 7/14<br />
<br />
*phase 1: big box<br />
**a: (july 17-23) sub this out if you can get it done this week<br />
::excavation/foundation behind house. Probably only need 3 sides; along the existing u just need 2-3 2'x2' footings for columns since that whole wall will likely open to the existing house.<br />
<br />
**b:(july 25- 31) (crew of 4, 9 hr days, 8 days)<br />
::Frame roof windows tyvek.<br />
<br />
*phase 2: <s>move to f1 bedroom</s><br />
::<s>Create 1st floor bedroom, move into it. You can do this since south side of the existing roof isn't getting changed. Well actually it is getting changed a bit. </s> Forget it. It will take to long. Move to basement of Portland library for a week and a half.<br />
<br />
*phase 3: (August 1-21) connect and finish the roofs.<br />
<br />
**Take off roof from south side of stairs north. demo and cleanup 1.5 days (I'll be at beach)<br />
<br />
**Put in the south hip rafter beams. There will be a hole on the ridge to pick up the support for the hip rafter running from ridge to new structure. For the section south of the stairs the new roof will just be slapped over the old. 1 day<br />
<br />
**Put in north side hip rafter beam and beam under gable window. 1 day<br />
<br />
**Frame and sheath the new east roof 1 day<br />
<br />
**Frame east gable and roof. 2 days<br />
<br />
**Complete the north and south sections and connect to addition. 2 days<br />
<br />
***complete roof 5 days<br />
***start roofing finished sections crew of 2 while...<br />
***strip roof of existing 1 person while<br />
***dig and pour porch corner pier while<br />
<br />
***frame porch roof overlaid on existing<br />
<br />
*phase 4 (August 24-Sept 1)<br />
**create temporary functional living space<br />
<br />
*phase 5: (fall/winter/spring) Tim comes for Christmas, February and April Break.<br />
*interior framing, mechanicals, electrical,insulation sheet rock.<br />
<br />
phase 6: (finish carpentry )<br />

This thing about not going full width is killing me. I feel like if we are renting an excavator bob cat we should be able to excavate to extend that front corner out for full width. <br />
<br />
If we don't, we are basically leaving space for a driveway that we don't need and not taking advantage of the width the alley affords us. All it gives you is a side yard that's pretty useless space with a view of a big garage.<br />
<br />
So I guess I need you to convince me if you really think this is the wrong way to go.<br />

====FOUNDATION NOTES====<br />
Hi Zac,<br />
<br />
Tobin asked that I contact you and discuss the foundation.<br />
<br />
It is a bit odd to be working over this distance and to be out of the Boston building scene. I was a builder for 32 years, building new houses for over 20 years. Mostly I built first-time homebuyer 2-3 story, 1-4 family urban infill housing, in 10-14 unit projects on lots vacant either by arson or the difficulty in building on them. Sometimes there were houses there before or there was garbage or peat or pudding stone or a steep hill. I worked for many different developers, architects and city agencies. We would build houses for prices my carpenters could afford. Our competition was the modular guys. <br />
<br />
My foundation sub would run 8' walls + footings for $15/linear foot. In around 100 houses we hardly ever used anything but 10"x20" footings, occasionally 10" x 24" We built full basements mostly, 10" walls, a few rows of #4 bar, sometimes vertical @ 2' or 4' OC, occasionally we had dowels coming out of the footing into the wall.<br />
<br />
When I got home from vacation on Sunday and got to look at a set of plans I was surprised how engineered it was. This is a little house and a small addition. This morning I went through the foundation (ch4) and wall construction (ch6) of the 2011 OR residential specialty code for 1-2 family houses. Everything seemed familiar and not so engineered. <br />
<br />
Footings in seismic D1 need to have (1) # 4 bar horiz.lengthwise and @4'OC vertically extending 14" into the wall. The wall needs (1) #4 horizontally within the first 12" and maybe another halfway down. Looking at the braced wall panel requirements for the first floor, where we don't meet the continuous sheathing with structural wall panels (WSP) reqs, it looks like all you need is 1800LBF for the hold_downs. You can get that and more just sinking those DTT22 strap anchors 10" into the concrete and fastening to the studs through the sheathing. All if this can be done by the proverbial equivalent to $15/lf form guys, there 3 hours for the footings and a day for the walls. Tobin and/or I would be there to lay it out, shoot the grades and set the anchors.<br />
<br />
For this job BOF to TOW is only about 26" in most cases, so with 10" footings the stem wall is from 1-3' high. In talking to you from my vacation I optimistically understood that the only real change was going to be turning the corner on the north wall to support the shear wall by the refrigerator.<br />
<br />
With the 16" deep footings and the complex steel and the squirrelly anchor bolts that go through the entire wall and footing (and sometimes through the bottom of the footings), the $15/lf guys are out of their league. They can't really and don't want to do 16" deep footings or anything non-standard. So you have to hire the kind of guys you give the plans to and they charge you an extra $2-3K and it takes an extra couple of days. Tobin is on a tight budget and can afford neither the added expense or the time.<br />
<br />
I'd like to figure out a more cost effective solution that you feel good about. It seems the sticking point is the connection line between the addition and the house. My initial sense was that the new condition isn't that much more unbalanced than the present condition of finish grade 8" from TOF. I was thinking 2" of foam to isolate the existing floor framing and sill from the new slab and that since the existing foundation is loaded by the house and laterally supported by the floor framing, it could easily take the compaction and the edge of the slab could be thickened to extend below the existing sill. <br />
<br />
I wouldn't have a problem pouring a 10" deep footing across that span with a couple of horizontal lengthwise bars tied into each corner, effectively closing the loop. I don't see why most of the rest couldn't be according to the prescriptive code as described above. Under the refrigerator sheer wall I'd like to stay with a 10" deep footing but we could make it wider and add some more steel there. I'm not sure what I am missing. The addition is so small, the foundation will end up essentially with balanced backfill and there is floor 9' above tieing all the walls together.<br />
<br />
I think this is a good design. Tobin and Laura will be happy every winter day when they step on their floor. But if we can't simplify it and make it more prescriptive and less expensive then maybe he should end up back to a crawl space and a framed first floor. I hope that doesn't happen. Talk to you tomorrow. Tobin knows my constraints, I'll let him schedule the time with you.<br />

South west is more problematic, I'd rather be shaded by a tree than have sun in the summer afternoon. In winter when the leaves are gone you can take all that gain.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
<br />
3 new full baths? There goes most of your $30,000<br />
<br />
The 2nd floor bath on south side is under the existing roof plan. You need to reconfigure the roof to accommodate it.<br />
<br />
I find the common space to seem large, awkward and uninteresting.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tim's plan:====<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
I think the first floor plan works and the second floor plan doesn't. The second floor really needs to be 3' wider and 2' closer to the garage (still 6' away) in order to accommodate 2 bedrooms a bath a study and lots of closet space.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor:=====<br />
I think the main problems are what feels like inefficiency of the space outside the bathroom and bedroom. Perhaps the bedroom closet would be better off on the bath wall. I think you could grab more of that space for the bath.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
11' seems to be a better minimum for bedroom dimension, not including closets. 3' wider takes you taller too. Maybe tall enough to think of a little loft in the center.<br />
<br />
====Buidability:====<br />
<br />
The game as I see it is to build the smallest amount possible and get the biggest bang for the buck. with $35,000 you are in the business of cost optimization, big time.<br />
<br />
If you start fucking around with adding boxes on multiple sides you'd be better off blowing up the existing house, You'll spend less time and money. Unfortunately you won't have a place to live.<br />
<br />
Which brings me to the other constraint. How to build this while you live there so the dog and the girlfriend don't dump you before you finish it (if you ever do). <br />
<br />
First you keep it simple. Second you keep the work are as localized as possible. Third you divide the work into<br />

====FOUNDATION NOTES====<br />
Hi Zac,<br />
<br />
Tobin asked that I contact you and discuss the foundation.<br />
<br />
It is a bit odd to be working over this distance and to be out of the Boston building scene. I was a builder for 32 years, building new houses for over 20 years. Mostly I built first-time homebuyer 2-3 story, 1-4 family urban infill housing, in 10-14 unit projects on lots vacant either by arson or the difficulty in building on them. Sometimes there were houses there before or there was garbage or peat or pudding stone or a steep hill. I worked for many different developers, architects and city agencies. We would build houses for prices my carpenters could afford. Our competition was the modular guys. <br />
<br />
My foundation sub would run 8' walls + footings for $15/linear foot. In around 100 houses we hardly ever used anything but 10"x20" footings, occasionally 10" x 24" We built full basements mostly, 10" walls, a few rows of #4 bar, sometimes vertical @ 2' or 4' OC, occasionally we had dowels coming out of the footing into the wall.<br />
<br />
When I got home from vacation on Sunday and got to look at a set of plans I was surprised how engineered it was. This is a little house and a small addition. This morning I went through the foundation (ch4) and wall construction (ch6) of the 2011 OR residential specialty code for 1-2 family houses. Everything seemed familiar and not so engineered. <br />
<br />
Footings in seismic D1 need to have (1) # 4 bar horiz.lengthwise and @4'OC vertically extending 14" into the wall. The wall needs (1) #4 horizontally within the first 12" and maybe another halfway down. Looking at the braced wall panel requirements for the first floor, where we don't meet the continuous sheathing with structural wall panels (WSP) reqs, it looks like all you need is 1800LBF for the hold_downs. You can get that and more just sinking those DTT22 strap anchors 10" into the concrete and fastening to the studs through the sheathing. All if this can be done by the proverbial equivalent to $15/lf form guys, there 3 hours for the footings and a day for the walls. Tobin and/or I would be there to lay it out, shoot the grades and set the anchors.<br />
<br />
For this job BOF to TOW is only about 26" in most cases, so with 10" footings the stem wall is from 1-3' high. In talking to you from my vacation I optimistically understood that the only real change was going to be turning the corner on the north wall to support the shear wall by the refrigerator.<br />
<br />
With the 16" deep footings and the complex steel and the squirrelly anchor bolts that go through the entire wall and footing (and sometimes through the bottom of the footings), the $15/lf guys are out of their league. They can't really and don't want to do 16" deep footings or anything non-standard. So you have to hire the kind of guys you give the plans to and they charge you an extra $2-3K and it takes an extra couple of days. Tobin is on a tight budget and can afford neither the added expense or the time.<br />
<br />
I'd like to figure out a more cost effective solution that you feel good about. It seems the sticking point is the connection line between the addition and the house. My initial sense was that the new condition isn't that much more unbalanced than the present condition of finish grade 8" from TOF. I was thinking 2" of foam to isolate the existing floor framing and sill from the new slab and that since the existing foundation is loaded by the house and laterally supported by the floor framing, it could easily take the compaction and the edge of the slab could be thickened to extend below the existing sill. <br />
<br />
I wouldn't have a problem pouring a 10" deep footing across that span with a couple of horizontal lengthwise bars tied into each corner, effectively closing the loop. I don't see why most of the rest couldn't be according to the prescriptive code as described above. Under the refrigerator sheer wall I'd like to stay with a 10" deep footing but we could make it wider and add some more steel there. I'm not sure what I am missing. The addition is so small, the foundation will end up essentially with balanced backfill and there is floor 9' above tieing all the walls together.<br />
<br />
I think this is a good design. Tobin and Laura will be happy every winter day when they step on their floor. But if we can't simplify it and make it more prescriptive and less expensive then maybe he should end up back to a crawl space and a framed first floor. I hope that doesn't happen. Talk to you tomorrow. Tobin knows my constraints, I'll let him schedule the time with you.<br />

7/7<br />
<br />
There is a new drawing B in docs. I moved the addition 2" away from the existing house and then fooled with the other slopes and ceiling heights. I made the ceiling in the new space 9', the slope 7/12 and the clear space in the corners ~4'high. The wireframe lines are all the outermost lines of the framing. <br />
<br />
6/28<br />
<br />
I looked at making the plan more buildable and less engineered. The idea is to make the box a 24'x24' square. Then the 4 valley rafters land on the 4 corners of the box. The corners can hold up the valleys and we will have a center post anyway. Once the framing is done and the roof is felted then just go to demo.<br />
<br />
Take off the entire existing roof and put it in a dumpster. Say we will use the existing walls but we'll put them in the dumpster too.<br />
<br />
Re-frame the first floor walls. Put in posts for the hip in the exterior walls Frame a new front gable as a true gable with real valleys. Frame a new roof and then roof the whole thing.Plans are enclosed. I'll revise the schedule.<br />
<br />
<br />
6/27<br />
<br />
Could be an interesting structure. Or impossible :)<br />
<br />
Start thinking about it. Here's some things to think about.<br />
<br />
As a 21' box it was kind of like the garage. For small roofs back 'rules of thumb work and a single 2x12 valley was all that was needed. I was reading last night that for every foot you extend the valley rafter the load increases to the 5th power. For the 24' box the valleys become single lvl117/8's. <br />
<br />
In the most normal roof you keep the walls from bowing out with the ceiling joists. It gets tricky as the point load at the base of the valley gets big. (2/3) of the valley weight) It wants to push out the corners. But we should be able to make that OK with some corner strap fab.<br />
<br />
The tricky part isn't the west valleys, its the east valleys. With the ~ 20'x24' box they land some 4' into the old structure way up in the air at the original ridge. Some how we are going to have to trussify the east edge of the stair landing to resist the movement out of the valleys (among other directions they want to go south and north).<br />
<br />
The really tricky part is the hip rafters running from the old ridge to the new ridge. How do you keep them from bowing out? On the north side you could build a continuous post to the ridge and maybe have this structural tie from the top of the post to the stair platform just right of the stairs. That would be weird but maybe cool. The south hip is trickier as we started to see last night. Perhaps there will be a rod running across the ridge from base of south hip to base of north hip. Or maybe there is another solution or maybe its impossible.<br />
<br />
This, it seems is the next thing to figure out.<br />
<br />
Call me when you get a chance. Im out at 1:40<br />

<br />
repeat of question: where is the drain?<br />
<br />
Building an addition is way more difficult and time consuming than 'I have a backhoe handy why not'. The things that are most difficult to do in additions is make the connection to the existing structure so the floor and every thing line up and the roof works. You could frame a new house in the time it takes to detail the connection from one box to an existing structure. The house next door is ugly. You don't fix that by building to it. Its the south side. A couple of fruit trees would be more valuable as a buffer than would building a bigger box.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tobin's plan:====<br />
Hard to talk about a plan not to scale, you got a scanner?<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
It seems big and boxy. Lumber is expensive. I don't think the roof over the porches fixes the boxiness. <br />
<br />
If you don't do design development with closets, then you get in trouble later.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor plan:=====<br />
<br />
It is incredible to me how people end up using so little of their houses. I think it's because rooms are too big and spread apart. A home really only has one center and that's where people want to hang out. It always includes the kitchen. Here your living room area is so remote from your kitchen. The space between the woodstove and the table and the space between the table and the stairs seem too big, too uninteresting and too expensive. The dining room table is the focal point of the house. It seems odd to me.<br />
<br />
My tendency is to think of the stair as the core of the house. Your eye move around and up.<br />
<br />
Your structure and walls are there to create spaces. Interior walls are responsible for creating spaces on both sides. The walls of the bedroom and mudroom do create those spaces but do little (or actually work against) creating spaces in the main living area, it feels like they jut into it.<br />
<br />
Porch seems so skinny. Even 6' seems too narrow, 8' seems better; you can fit around a table, walk by another person. The other challenge is solar gain on the south side. Ideally the overhang/roof structure shades the house in the summer but lets in all the winter sunlight. South west is more problematic, I'd rather be shaded by a tree than have sun in the summer afternoon. In winter when the leaves are gone you can take all that gain.<br />

All if this can be done by the proverbial equivalent to $15/lf form guys, there 3 hours for the footings and a day for the walls. Tobin and/or I would be there to lay it out, shoot the grades and set the anchors.<br />
<br />
For this job BOF to TOW is only about 26" in most cases, so with 10" footings the stem wall is from 1-3' high. In talking to you from my vacation I optimistically understood that the only real change was going to be turning the corner on the north wall to support the shear wall by the refrigerator.<br />
<br />
With the 16" deep footings and the complex steel and the squirrelly anchor bolts that go through the entire wall and footing (and sometimes through the bottom of the footings), the $15/lf guys are out of their league. They can't really and don't want to do 16" deep footings or anything non-standard. So you have to hire the kind of guys you give the plans to and they charge you an extra $2-3K and it takes an extra couple of days. Tobin is on a tight budget and can afford neither the added expense or the time.<br />
<br />
I'd like to figure out a more cost effective solution that you feel good about. It seems the sticking point is the connection line between the addition and the house. My initial sense was that the new condition isn't that much more unbalanced than the present condition of finish grade 8" from TOF. I was thinking 2" of foam to isolate the existing floor framing and sill from the new slab and that since the existing foundation is loaded by the house and laterally supported by the floor framing, it could easily take the compaction and the edge of the slab could be thickened to extend below the existing sill. <br />
<br />
I wouldn't have a problem pouring a 10" deep footing across that span with a couple of horizontal lengthwise bars tied into each corner, effectively closing the loop. I don't see why most of the rest couldn't be according to the prescriptive code as described above. Under the refrigerator sheer wall I'd like to stay with a 10" deep footing but we could make it wider and add some more steel there. I'm not sure what I am missing. The addition is so small, the foundation will end up essentially with balanced backfill and there is floor 9' above tieing all the walls together.<br />
<br />
I think this is a good design. Tobin and Laura will be happy every winter day when they step on their floor. But if we can't simplify it and make it more prescriptive and less expensive then maybe he should end up back to a crawl space and a framed first floor. I hope that doesn't happen. Talk to you tomorrow. Tobin knows my constraints, I'll let him schedule the time with you.<br />

7/7<br />
<br />
There is a new drawing B in docs. I moved the addition 2" away from the existing house and then fooled with the other slopes and ceiling heights. I made the ceiling in the new space 9', the slope 7/12 and the clear space in the corners ~4'high. The wireframe lines are all the outermost lines of the framing. <br />
<br />
6/28<br />
<br />
I looked at making the plan more buildable and less engineered. The idea is to make the box a 24'x24' square. Then the 4 valley rafters land on the 4 corners of the box. The corners can hold up the valleys and we will have a center post anyway. Once the framing is done and the roof is felted then just go to demo.<br />
<br />
Take off the entire existing roof and put it in a dumpster. Say we will use the existing walls but we'll put them in the dumpster too.<br />
<br />
Re-frame the first floor walls. Put in posts for the hip in the exterior walls Frame a new front gable as a true gable with real valleys. Frame a new roof and then roof the whole thing.Plans are enclosed. I'll revise the schedule.<br />
<br />
<br />
6/27<br />
<br />
Could be an interesting structure. Or impossible :)<br />
<br />
Start thinking about it. Here's some things to think about.<br />
<br />
As a 21' box it was kind of like the garage. For small roofs back 'rules of thumb work and a single 2x12 valley was all that was needed. I was reading last night that for every foot you extend the valley rafter the load increases to the 5th power. For the 24' box the valleys become single lvl117/8's. <br />
<br />
In the most normal roof you keep the walls from bowing out with the ceiling joists. It gets tricky as the point load at the base of the valley gets big. (2/3) of the valley weight) It wants to push out the corners. But we should be able to make that OK with some corner strap fab.<br />
<br />
The tricky part isn't the west valleys, its the east valleys. With the ~ 20'x24' box they land some 4' into the old structure way up in the air at the original ridge. Some how we are going to have to trussify the east edge of the stair landing to resist the movement out of the valleys (among other directions they want to go south and north).<br />
<br />
The really tricky part is the hip rafters running from the old ridge to the new ridge. How do you keep them from bowing out? On the north side you could build a continuous post to the ridge and maybe have this structural tie from the top of the post to the stair platform just right of the stairs. That would be weird but maybe cool. The south hip is trickier as we started to see last night. Perhaps there will be a rod running across the ridge from base of south hip to base of north hip. Or maybe there is another solution or maybe its impossible.<br />
<br />
This, it seems is the next thing to figure out.<br />
<br />
Call me when you get a chance. Im out at 1:40<br />

<br />
repeat of question: where is the drain?<br />
<br />
Building an addition is way more difficult and time consuming than 'I have a backhoe handy why not'. The things that are most difficult to do in additions is make the connection to the existing structure so the floor and every thing line up and the roof works. You could frame a new house in the time it takes to detail the connection from one box to an existing structure. The house next door is ugly. You don't fix that by building to it. Its the south side. A couple of fruit trees would be more valuable as a buffer than would building a bigger box.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tobin's plan:====<br />
Hard to talk about a plan not to scale, you got a scanner?<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
It seems big and boxy. Lumber is expensive. I don't think the roof over the porches fixes the boxiness. <br />
<br />
If you don't do design development with closets, then you get in trouble later.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor plan:=====<br />
<br />
It is incredible to me how people end up using so little of their houses. I think it's because rooms are too big and spread apart. A home really only has one center and that's where people want to hang out. It always includes the kitchen. Here your living room area is so remote from your kitchen. The space between the woodstove and the table and the space between the table and the stairs seem too big, too uninteresting and too expensive. The dining room table is the focal point of the house. It seems odd to me.<br />
<br />
My tendency is to think of the stair as the core of the house. Your eye move around and up.<br />
<br />
Your structure and walls are there to create spaces. Interior walls are responsible for creating spaces on both sides. The walls of the bedroom and mudroom do create those spaces but do little (or actually work against) creating spaces in the main living area, it feels like they jut into it.<br />
<br />
Porch seems so skinny. Even 6' seems too narrow, 8' seems better; you can fit around a table, walk by another person. The other challenge is solar gain on the south side. Ideally the overhang/roof structure shades the house in the summer but lets in all the winter sunlight. South west is more problematic, I'd rather be shaded by a tree than have sun in the summer afternoon. In winter when the leaves are gone you can take all that gain.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
<br />
3 new full baths? There goes most of your $30,000<br />
<br />
The 2nd floor bath on south side is under the existing roof plan. You need to reconfigure the roof to accommodate it.<br />
<br />
I find the common space to seem large, awkward and uninteresting.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tim's plan:====<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
I think the first floor plan works and the second floor plan doesn't. The second floor really needs to be 3' wider and 2' closer to the garage (still 6' away) in order to accommodate 2 bedrooms a bath a study and lots of closet space.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor:=====<br />
I think the main problems are what feels like inefficiency of the space outside the bathroom and bedroom. Perhaps the bedroom closet would be better off on the bath wall. I think you could grab more of that space for the bath.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
11' seems to be a better minimum for bedroom dimension, not including closets. 3' wider takes you taller too. Maybe tall enough to think of a little loft in the center.<br />
<br />
====Buidability:====<br />
<br />
The game as I see it is to build the smallest amount possible and get the biggest bang for the buck. with $35,000 you are in the business of cost optimization, big time.<br />
<br />
If you start fucking around with adding boxes on multiple sides you'd be better off blowing up the existing house, You'll spend less time and money. Unfortunately you won't have a place to live.<br />
<br />
Which brings me to the other constraint. How to build this while you live there so the dog and the girlfriend don't dump you before you finish it (if you ever do). <br />
<br />
First you keep it simple. Second you keep the work are as localized as possible. Third you divide the work into<br />
<br />
This is how I thought of building what i drew:<br />
<br />
<br />
*plans filed day after closing<br />
<br />
*plans approved 7/14<br />
<br />
*phase 1: big box<br />
**a: (july 17-23) sub this out if you can get it done this week<br />
::excavation/foundation behind house. Probably only need 3 sides; along the existing u just need 2-3 2'x2' footings for columns since that whole wall will likely open to the existing house.<br />
<br />
**b:(july 25- 31) (crew of 4, 9 hr days, 8 days)<br />
::Frame roof windows tyvek.<br />
<br />
*phase 2: <s>move to f1 bedroom</s><br />
::<s>Create 1st floor bedroom, move into it. You can do this since south side of the existing roof isn't getting changed. Well actually it is getting changed a bit. </s> Forget it. It will take to long. Move to basement of Portland library for a week and a half.<br />
<br />
*phase 3: (August 1-21) connect and finish the roofs.<br />
<br />
**Take off roof from south side of stairs north. demo and cleanup 1.5 days (I'll be at beach)<br />
<br />
**Put in the south hip rafter beams. There will be a hole on the ridge to pick up the support for the hip rafter running from ridge to new structure. For the section south of the stairs the new roof will just be slapped over the old. 1 day<br />
<br />
**Put in north side hip rafter beam and beam under gable window. 1 day<br />
<br />
**Frame and sheath the new east roof 1 day<br />
<br />
**Frame east gable and roof. 2 days<br />
<br />
**Complete the north and south sections and connect to addition. 2 days<br />
<br />
***complete roof 5 days<br />
***start roofing finished sections crew of 2 while...<br />
***strip roof of existing 1 person while<br />
***dig and pour porch corner pier while<br />
<br />
***frame porch roof overlaid on existing<br />
<br />
*phase 4 (August 24-Sept 1)<br />
**create temporary functional living space<br />
<br />
*phase 5: (fall/winter/spring) Tim comes for Christmas, February and April Break.<br />
*interior framing, mechanicals, electrical,insulation sheet rock.<br />
<br />
phase 6: (finish carpentry )<br />

This thing about not going full width is killing me. I feel like if we are renting an excavator bob cat we should be able to excavate to extend that front corner out for full width. <br />
<br />
If we don't, we are basically leaving space for a driveway that we don't need and not taking advantage of the width the alley affords us. All it gives you is a side yard that's pretty useless space with a view of a big garage.<br />
<br />
So I guess I need you to convince me if you really think this is the wrong way to go.<br />

====FOUNDATION NOTES====<br />
Hi Zach,<br />
<br />
Tobin asked that I contact you and discuss the foundation.<br />
<br />
It is a bit odd to be working over this distance and to be out of the Boston building scene. I was a builder for 32 years, building new houses for over 20 years. Mostly I built first-time homebuyer 2-3 story, 1-4 family urban infill housing, in 10-14 unit projects on lots vacant either by arson or the difficulty in building on them. Sometimes there were houses there before or there was garbage or peat or pudding stone or a steep hill. I worked for many different developers, architects and city agencies. We would build houses for prices my carpenters could afford. Our competition was the modular guys. <br />
<br />
My foundation sub would run 8' walls + footings for $15/linear foot. In around 100 houses we hardly ever used anything but 10"x20" footings, occasionally 10" x 24" We built full basements mostly, 10" walls, a few rows of #4 bar, sometimes vertical @ 2' or 4' OC, occasionally we had dowels coming out of the footing into the wall.<br />
<br />
When I got home from vacation on Sunday and got to look at a set of plans I was surprised how engineered it was. This is a little house and a small addition. This morning I went through the foundation (ch4) and wall construction (ch6) of the 2011 OR residential specialty code for 1-2 family houses. Everything seemed familiar and not so engineered. <br />
<br />
Footings in seismic D1 need to have (1) # 4 bar horiz.lengthwise and @4'OC vertically extending 14" into the wall. The wall needs (1) #4 horizontally within the first 12" and maybe another halfway down. Looking at the braced wall panel requirements for the first floor, where we don't meet the continuous sheathing with structural wall panels (WSP) reqs, it looks like all you need is 1800LBF for the hold_downs. You can get that and more just sinking those DTT22 strap anchors 10" into the concrete and fastening to the studs through the sheathing. All if this can be done by the proverbial equivalent to $15/lf form guys, there 3 hours for the footings and a day for the walls.

repeat of question: where is the drain?<br />
<br />
Building an addition is way more difficult and time consuming than 'I have a backhoe handy why not'. The things that are most difficult to do in additions is make the connection to the existing structure so the floor and every thing line up and the roof works. You could frame a new house in the time it takes to detail the connection from one box to an existing structure. The house next door is ugly. You don't fix that by building to it. Its the south side. A couple of fruit trees would be more valuable as a buffer than would building a bigger box.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tobin's plan:====<br />
Hard to talk about a plan not to scale, you got a scanner?<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
It seems big and boxy. Lumber is expensive. I don't think the roof over the porches fixes the boxiness. <br />
<br />
If you don't do design development with closets, then you get in trouble later.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor plan:=====<br />
<br />
It is incredible to me how people end up using so little of their houses. I think it's because rooms are too big and spread apart. A home really only has one center and that's where people want to hang out. It always includes the kitchen. Here your living room area is so remote from your kitchen. The space between the woodstove and the table and the space between the table and the stairs seem too big, too uninteresting and too expensive. The dining room table is the focal point of the house. It seems odd to me.<br />
<br />
My tendency is to think of the stair as the core of the house. Your eye move around and up.<br />
<br />
Your structure and walls are there to create spaces. Interior walls are responsible for creating spaces on both sides. The walls of the bedroom and mudroom do create those spaces but do little (or actually work against) creating spaces in the main living area, it feels like they jut into it.<br />
<br />
Porch seems so skinny. Even 6' seems too narrow, 8' seems better; you can fit around a table, walk by another person. The other challenge is solar gain on the south side. Ideally the overhang/roof structure shades the house in the summer but lets in all the winter sunlight. South west is more problematic, I'd rather be shaded by a tree than have sun in the summer afternoon. In winter when the leaves are gone you can take all that gain.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
<br />
3 new full baths? There goes most of your $30,000<br />
<br />
The 2nd floor bath on south side is under the existing roof plan. You need to reconfigure the roof to accommodate it.<br />
<br />
I find the common space to seem large, awkward and uninteresting.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tim's plan:====<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
I think the first floor plan works and the second floor plan doesn't. The second floor really needs to be 3' wider and 2' closer to the garage (still 6' away) in order to accommodate 2 bedrooms a bath a study and lots of closet space.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor:=====<br />
I think the main problems are what feels like inefficiency of the space outside the bathroom and bedroom. Perhaps the bedroom closet would be better off on the bath wall. I think you could grab more of that space for the bath.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
11' seems to be a better minimum for bedroom dimension, not including closets. 3' wider takes you taller too. Maybe tall enough to think of a little loft in the center.<br />
<br />
====Buidability:====<br />
<br />
The game as I see it is to build the smallest amount possible and get the biggest bang for the buck. with $35,000 you are in the business of cost optimization, big time.<br />
<br />
If you start fucking around with adding boxes on multiple sides you'd be better off blowing up the existing house, You'll spend less time and money. Unfortunately you won't have a place to live.<br />
<br />
Which brings me to the other constraint. How to build this while you live there so the dog and the girlfriend don't dump you before you finish it (if you ever do). <br />
<br />
First you keep it simple. Second you keep the work are as localized as possible. Third you divide the work into<br />

====FOUNDATION NOTES====<br />
Hi Zach,<br />
<br />
Tobin asked that I contact you and discuss the foundation.<br />
<br />
It is a bit odd to be working over this distance and to be out of the Boston building scene. I was a builder for 32 years, building new houses for over 20 years. Mostly I built first-time homebuyer 2-3 story, 1-4 family urban infill housing, in 10-14 unit projects on lots vacant either by arson or the difficulty in building on them. Sometimes there were houses there before or there was garbage or peat or pudding stone or a steep hill. I worked for many different developers, architects and city agencies. We would build houses for prices my carpenters could afford. Our competition was the modular guys. <br />
<br />
My foundation sub would run 8' walls + footings for $15/linear foot. In around 100 houses we hardly ever used anything but 10"x20" footings, occasionally 10" x 24" We built full basements mostly, 10" walls, a few rows of #4 bar, sometimes vertical @ 2' or 4' OC, occasionally we had dowels coming out of the footing into the wall.<br />
<br />
When I got home from vacation on Sunday and got to look at a set of plans I was surprised how engineered it was. This is a little house and a small addition. This morning I went through the foundation (ch4) and wall construction (ch6) of the 2011 OR residential specialty code for 1-2 family houses. Everything seemed familiar and not so engineered. <br />
<br />
Footings in seismic D1 need to have (1) # 4 bar horiz. and @4'OC vertically extending 14" into the wall. The wall needs (1) #4 horizontally within the first 12" and maybe another halfway down. Looking at the braced wall panel requirements for the first floor, where we don't meet the continuous sheathing with structural wall panels (WSP) reqs, it looks like all you need is 1800LBF for the hold_downs. You can get that and more just sinking those DTT22 strap anchors 10" into the concrete and fastening to the studs through the sheathing. All if this can be done by the proverbial equivalent to $15/lf form guys, there 3 hours for the footings and a day for the walls. Tobin and/or I would be there to lay it out, shoot the grades and set the anchors.<br />
<br />
For this job BOF to TOW is only about 26" in most cases, so with 10" footings the stem wall is from 1-3' high. In talking to you from my vacation I optimistically understood that the only real change was going to be turning the corner on the north wall to support the shear wall by the refrigerator.<br />
<br />
With the 16" deep footings and the complex steel and the squirrelly anchor bolts that go through the entire wall and footing (and sometimes through the bottom of the footings), the $15/lf guys are out of their league. They can't really and don't want to do 16" deep footings or anything non-standard. So you have to hire the kind of guys you give the plans to and they charge you an extra $2-3K and it takes an extra couple of days. Tobin is on a tight budget and can afford neither the added expense or the time.<br />
<br />
I'd like to figure out a more cost effective solution that you feel good about. It seems the sticking point is the connection line between the addition and the house. My initial sense was that the new condition isn't that much more unbalanced than the present condition of finish grade 8" from TOF. I was thinking 2" of foam to isolate the existing floor framing and sill from the new slab and that since the existing foundation is loaded by the house and laterally supported by the floor framing, it could easily take the compaction and the edge of the slab could be thickened to extend below the existing sill. <br />
<br />
I wouldn't have a problem pouring a 10" deep footing across that span with a couple of horizontal bars tied into each corner, effectively closing the loop. I don't see why most of the rest couldn't be according to the prescriptive code as described above. Under the refrigerator sheer wall I'd like to stay with a 10" deep footing but we could make it wider and add some more steel there. I'm not sure what I am missing. The addition is so small, the foundation will end up essentially with balanced backfill and there is floor 9' above tieing all the walls together.<br />
<br />
I think this is a good design. Tobin and Laura will be happy every winter day when they step on their floor. But if we can't simplify it and make it more prescriptive then maybe he should end up back to a crawl space and a framed first floor. I hope that doesn't happen. Talk to you tomorrow.<br />

<br />
There is a new drawing B in docs. I moved the addition 2" away from the existing house and then fooled with the other slopes and ceiling heights. I made the ceiling in the new space 9', the slope 7/12 and the clear space in the corners ~4'high. The wireframe lines are all the outermost lines of the framing. <br />
<br />
6/28<br />
<br />
I looked at making the plan more buildable and less engineered. The idea is to make the box a 24'x24' square. Then the 4 valley rafters land on the 4 corners of the box. The corners can hold up the valleys and we will have a center post anyway. Once the framing is done and the roof is felted then just go to demo.<br />
<br />
Take off the entire existing roof and put it in a dumpster. Say we will use the existing walls but we'll put them in the dumpster too.<br />
<br />
Re-frame the first floor walls. Put in posts for the hip in the exterior walls Frame a new front gable as a true gable with real valleys. Frame a new roof and then roof the whole thing.Plans are enclosed. I'll revise the schedule.<br />
<br />
<br />
6/27<br />
<br />
Could be an interesting structure. Or impossible :)<br />
<br />
Start thinking about it. Here's some things to think about.<br />
<br />
As a 21' box it was kind of like the garage. For small roofs back 'rules of thumb work and a single 2x12 valley was all that was needed. I was reading last night that for every foot you extend the valley rafter the load increases to the 5th power. For the 24' box the valleys become single lvl117/8's. <br />
<br />
In the most normal roof you keep the walls from bowing out with the ceiling joists. It gets tricky as the point load at the base of the valley gets big. (2/3) of the valley weight) It wants to push out the corners. But we should be able to make that OK with some corner strap fab.<br />
<br />
The tricky part isn't the west valleys, its the east valleys. With the ~ 20'x24' box they land some 4' into the old structure way up in the air at the original ridge. Some how we are going to have to trussify the east edge of the stair landing to resist the movement out of the valleys (among other directions they want to go south and north).<br />
<br />
The really tricky part is the hip rafters running from the old ridge to the new ridge. How do you keep them from bowing out? On the north side you could build a continuous post to the ridge and maybe have this structural tie from the top of the post to the stair platform just right of the stairs. That would be weird but maybe cool. The south hip is trickier as we started to see last night. Perhaps there will be a rod running across the ridge from base of south hip to base of north hip. Or maybe there is another solution or maybe its impossible.<br />
<br />
This, it seems is the next thing to figure out.<br />
<br />

7/7<br />
<br />
There is a new drawing B in docs. I moved the addition 2" away from the existing house and then fooled with the other slopes and ceiling heights. I made the ceiling in the new space 9', the slope 7/12 and the clear space in the corners ~4'high. The wireframe lines are all the outermost lines of the framing. <br />
<br />
6/28<br />
<br />
I looked at making the plan more buildable and less engineered. The idea is to make the box a 24'x24' square. Then the 4 valley rafters land on the 4 corners of the box. The corners can hold up the valleys and we will have a center post anyway. Once the framing is done and the roof is felted then just go to demo.<br />
<br />
Take off the entire existing roof and put it in a dumpster. Say we will use the existing walls but we'll put them in the dumpster too.<br />
<br />
Re-frame the first floor walls. Put in posts for the hip in the exterior walls Frame a new front gable as a true gable with real valleys. Frame a new roof and then roof the whole thing.Plans are enclosed. I'll revise the schedule.<br />
<br />
<br />
6/27<br />
<br />
Could be an interesting structure. Or impossible :)<br />
<br />
Start thinking about it. Here's some things to think about.<br />
<br />
As a 21' box it was kind of like the garage. For small roofs back 'rules of thumb work and a single 2x12 valley was all that was needed. I was reading last night that for every foot you extend the valley rafter the load increases to the 5th power. For the 24' box the valleys become single lvl117/8's. <br />
<br />
In the most normal roof you keep the walls from bowing out with the ceiling joists. It gets tricky as the point load at the base of the valley gets big. (2/3) of the valley weight) It wants to push out the corners. But we should be able to make that OK with some corner strap fab.<br />
<br />
The tricky part isn't the west valleys, its the east valleys. With the ~ 20'x24' box they land some 4' into the old structure way up in the air at the original ridge. Some how we are going to have to trussify the east edge of the stair landing to resist the movement out of the valleys (among other directions they want to go south and north).<br />
<br />
The really tricky part is the hip rafters running from the old ridge to the new ridge. How do you keep them from bowing out? On the north side you could build a continuous post to the ridge and maybe have this structural tie from the top of the post to the stair platform just right of the stairs. That would be weird but maybe cool. The south hip is trickier as we started to see last night. Perhaps there will be a rod running across the ridge from base of south hip to base of north hip. Or maybe there is another solution or maybe its impossible.<br />
<br />
This, it seems is the next thing to figure out.<br />
<br />

<br />
repeat of question: where is the drain?<br />
<br />
Building an addition is way more difficult and time consuming than 'I have a backhoe handy why not'. The things that are most difficult to do in additions is make the connection to the existing structure so the floor and every thing line up and the roof works. You could frame a new house in the time it takes to detail the connection from one box to an existing structure. The house next door is ugly. You don't fix that by building to it. Its the south side. A couple of fruit trees would be more valuable as a buffer than would building a bigger box.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tobin's plan:====<br />
Hard to talk about a plan not to scale, you got a scanner?<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
It seems big and boxy. Lumber is expensive. I don't think the roof over the porches fixes the boxiness. <br />
<br />
If you don't do design development with closets, then you get in trouble later.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor plan:=====<br />
<br />
It is incredible to me how people end up using so little of their houses. I think it's because rooms are too big and spread apart. A home really only has one center and that's where people want to hang out. It always includes the kitchen. Here your living room area is so remote from your kitchen. The space between the woodstove and the table and the space between the table and the stairs seem too big, too uninteresting and too expensive. The dining room table is the focal point of the house. It seems odd to me.<br />
<br />
My tendency is to think of the stair as the core of the house. Your eye move around and up.<br />
<br />
Your structure and walls are there to create spaces. Interior walls are responsible for creating spaces on both sides. The walls of the bedroom and mudroom do create those spaces but do little (or actually work against) creating spaces in the main living area, it feels like they jut into it.<br />
<br />
Porch seems so skinny. Even 6' seems too narrow, 8' seems better; you can fit around a table, walk by another person. The other challenge is solar gain on the south side. Ideally the overhang/roof structure shades the house in the summer but lets in all the winter sunlight. South west is more problematic, I'd rather be shaded by a tree than have sun in the summer afternoon. In winter when the leaves are gone you can take all that gain.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
<br />
3 new full baths? There goes most of your $30,000<br />
<br />
The 2nd floor bath on south side is under the existing roof plan. You need to reconfigure the roof to accommodate it.<br />
<br />
I find the common space to seem large, awkward and uninteresting.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tim's plan:====<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
I think the first floor plan works and the second floor plan doesn't. The second floor really needs to be 3' wider and 2' closer to the garage (still 6' away) in order to accommodate 2 bedrooms a bath a study and lots of closet space.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor:=====<br />
I think the main problems are what feels like inefficiency of the space outside the bathroom and bedroom. Perhaps the bedroom closet would be better off on the bath wall. I think you could grab more of that space for the bath.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
11' seems to be a better minimum for bedroom dimension, not including closets. 3' wider takes you taller too. Maybe tall enough to think of a little loft in the center.<br />
<br />
====Buidability:====<br />
<br />
The game as I see it is to build the smallest amount possible and get the biggest bang for the buck. with $35,000 you are in the business of cost optimization, big time.<br />
<br />
If you start fucking around with adding boxes on multiple sides you'd be better off blowing up the existing house, You'll spend less time and money. Unfortunately you won't have a place to live.<br />
<br />
Which brings me to the other constraint. How to build this while you live there so the dog and the girlfriend don't dump you before you finish it (if you ever do). <br />
<br />
First you keep it simple. Second you keep the work are as localized as possible. Third you divide the work into<br />
<br />
This is how I thought of building what i drew:<br />
<br />
<br />
*plans filed day after closing<br />
<br />
*plans approved 7/14<br />
<br />
*phase 1: big box<br />
**a: (july 17-23) sub this out if you can get it done this week<br />
::excavation/foundation behind house. Probably only need 3 sides; along the existing u just need 2-3 2'x2' footings for columns since that whole wall will likely open to the existing house.<br />
<br />
**b:(july 25- 31) (crew of 4, 9 hr days, 8 days)<br />
::Frame roof windows tyvek.<br />
<br />
*phase 2: <s>move to f1 bedroom</s><br />
::<s>Create 1st floor bedroom, move into it. You can do this since south side of the existing roof isn't getting changed. Well actually it is getting changed a bit. </s> Forget it. It will take to long. Move to basement of Portland library for a week and a half.<br />
<br />
*phase 3: (August 1-21) connect and finish the roofs.<br />
<br />
**Take off roof from south side of stairs north. demo and cleanup 1.5 days (I'll be at beach)<br />
<br />
**Put in the south hip rafter beams. There will be a hole on the ridge to pick up the support for the hip rafter running from ridge to new structure. For the section south of the stairs the new roof will just be slapped over the old. 1 day<br />
<br />
**Put in north side hip rafter beam and beam under gable window. 1 day<br />
<br />
**Frame and sheath the new east roof 1 day<br />
<br />
**Frame east gable and roof. 2 days<br />
<br />
**Complete the north and south sections and connect to addition. 2 days<br />
<br />
***complete roof 5 days<br />
***start roofing finished sections crew of 2 while...<br />
***strip roof of existing 1 person while<br />
***dig and pour porch corner pier while<br />
<br />
***frame porch roof overlaid on existing<br />
<br />
*phase 4 (August 24-Sept 1)<br />
**create temporary functional living space<br />
<br />
*phase 5: (fall/winter/spring) Tim comes for Christmas, February and April Break.<br />
*interior framing, mechanicals, electrical,insulation sheet rock.<br />
<br />
phase 6: (finish carpentry )<br />
<br />

This thing about not going full width is killing me. I feel like if we are renting an excavator bob cat we should be able to excavate to extend that front corner out for full width. <br />
<br />
If we don't, we are basically leaving space for a driveway that we don't need and not taking advantage of the width the alley affords us. All it gives you is a side yard that's pretty useless space with a view of a big garage.<br />
<br />
So I guess I need you to convince me if you really think this is the wrong way to go.<br />

Could be an interesting structure. Or impossible :)<br />
<br />
Start thinking about it. Here's some things to think about.<br />
<br />
As a 21' box it was kind of like the garage. For small roofs back 'rules of thumb work and a single 2x12 valley was all that was needed. I was reading last night that for every foot you extend the valley rafter the load increases to the 5th power. For the 24' box the valleys become single lvl117/8's. <br />
<br />
In the most normal roof you keep the walls from bowing out with the ceiling joists. It gets tricky as the point load at the base of the valley gets big. (2/3) of the valley weight) It wants to push out the corners. But we should be able to make that OK with some corner strap fab.<br />
<br />
The tricky part isn't the west valleys, its the east valleys. With the ~ 20'x24' box they land some 4' into the old structure way up in the air at the original ridge. Some how we are going to have to trussify the east edge of the stair landing to resist the movement out of the valleys (among other directions they want to go south and north).<br />
<br />
The really tricky part is the hip rafters running from the old ridge to the new ridge. How do you keep them from bowing out? On the north side you could build a continuous post to the ridge and maybe have this structural tie from the top of the post to the stair platform just right of the stairs. That would be weird but maybe cool. The south hip is trickier as we started to see last night. Perhaps there will be a rod running across the ridge from base of south hip to base of north hip. Or maybe there is another solution or maybe its impossible.<br />
<br />
This, it seems is the next thing to figure out.<br />

repeat of question: where is the drain?<br />
<br />
Building an addition is way more difficult and time consuming than 'I have a backhoe handy why not'. The things that are most difficult to do in additions is make the connection to the existing structure so the floor and every thing line up and the roof works. You could frame a new house in the time it takes to detail the connection from one box to an existing structure. The house next door is ugly. You don't fix that by building to it. Its the south side. A couple of fruit trees would be more valuable as a buffer than would building a bigger box.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tobin's plan:====<br />
Hard to talk about a plan not to scale, you got a scanner?<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
It seems big and boxy. Lumber is expensive. I don't think the roof over the porches fixes the boxiness. <br />
<br />
If you don't do design development with closets, then you get in trouble later.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor plan:=====<br />
<br />
It is incredible to me how people end up using so little of their houses. I think it's because rooms are too big and spread apart. A home really only has one center and that's where people want to hang out. It always includes the kitchen. Here your living room area is so remote from your kitchen. The space between the woodstove and the table and the space between the table and the stairs seem too big, too uninteresting and too expensive. The dining room table is the focal point of the house. It seems odd to me.<br />
<br />
My tendency is to think of the stair as the core of the house. Your eye move around and up.<br />
<br />
Your structure and walls are there to create spaces. Interior walls are responsible for creating spaces on both sides. The walls of the bedroom and mudroom do create those spaces but do little (or actually work against) creating spaces in the main living area, it feels like they jut into it.<br />
<br />
Porch seems so skinny. Even 6' seems too narrow, 8' seems better; you can fit around a table, walk by another person. The other challenge is solar gain on the south side. Ideally the overhang/roof structure shades the house in the summer but lets in all the winter sunlight. South west is more problematic, I'd rather be shaded by a tree than have sun in the summer afternoon. In winter when the leaves are gone you can take all that gain.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
<br />
3 new full baths? There goes most of your $30,000<br />
<br />
The 2nd floor bath on south side is under the existing roof plan. You need to reconfigure the roof to accommodate it.<br />
<br />
I find the common space to seem large, awkward and uninteresting.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tim's plan:====<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
I think the first floor plan works and the second floor plan doesn't. The second floor really needs to be 3' wider and 2' closer to the garage (still 6' away) in order to accommodate 2 bedrooms a bath a study and lots of closet space.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor:=====<br />
I think the main problems are what feels like inefficiency of the space outside the bathroom and bedroom. Perhaps the bedroom closet would be better off on the bath wall. I think you could grab more of that space for the bath.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
11' seems to be a better minimum for bedroom dimension, not including closets. 3' wider takes you taller too. Maybe tall enough to think of a little loft in the center.<br />
<br />
====Buidability:====<br />
<br />
The game as I see it is to build the smallest amount possible and get the biggest bang for the buck. with $35,000 you are in the business of cost optimization, big time.<br />
<br />
If you start fucking around with adding boxes on multiple sides you'd be better off blowing up the existing house, You'll spend less time and money. Unfortunately you won't have a place to live.<br />
<br />
Which brings me to the other constraint. How to build this while you live there so the dog and the girlfriend don't dump you before you finish it (if you ever do). <br />
<br />
First you keep it simple. Second you keep the work are as localized as possible. Third you divide the work into<br />

If we don't, we are basically leaving space for a driveway that we don't need and not taking advantage of the width the alley affords us. All it gives you is a side yard that's pretty useless space with a view of a big garage.<br />

7/7<br />
<br />
There is a new drawing B in docs. I moved the addition 2" away from the existing house and then fooled with the other slopes and ceiling heights. I made the ceiling in the new space 9', the slope 7/12 and the clear space in the corners ~4'high. The wireframe lines are all the outermost lines of the framing. <br />
<br />
6/28<br />
<br />
I looked at making the plan more buildable and less engineered. The idea is to make the box a 24'x24' square. Then the 4 valley rafters land on the 4 corners of the box. The corners can hold up the valleys and we will have a center post anyway. Once the framing is done and the roof is felted then just go to demo.<br />
<br />
Take off the entire existing roof and put it in a dumpster. Say we will use the existing walls but we'll put them in the dumpster too.<br />
<br />
Re-frame the first floor walls. Put in posts for the hip in the exterior walls Frame a new front gable as a true gable with real valleys. Frame a new roof and then roof the whole thing.Plans are enclosed. I'll revise the schedule.<br />
<br />
<br />
6/27<br />
<br />
Could be an interesting structure. Or impossible :)<br />
<br />
Start thinking about it. Here's some things to think about.<br />
<br />
As a 21' box it was kind of like the garage. For small roofs back 'rules of thumb work and a single 2x12 valley was all that was needed. I was reading last night that for every foot you extend the valley rafter the load increases to the 5th power. For the 24' box the valleys become single lvl117/8's. <br />
<br />
In the most normal roof you keep the walls from bowing out with the ceiling joists. It gets tricky as the point load at the base of the valley gets big. (2/3) of the valley weight) It wants to push out the corners. But we should be able to make that OK with some corner strap fab.<br />
<br />
The tricky part isn't the west valleys, its the east valleys. With the ~ 20'x24' box they land some 4' into the old structure way up in the air at the original ridge. Some how we are going to have to trussify the east edge of the stair landing to resist the movement out of the valleys (among other directions they want to go south and north).<br />
<br />
The really tricky part is the hip rafters running from the old ridge to the new ridge. How do you keep them from bowing out? On the north side you could build a continuous post to the ridge and maybe have this structural tie from the top of the post to the stair platform just right of the stairs. That would be weird but maybe cool. The south hip is trickier as we started to see last night. Perhaps there will be a rod running across the ridge from base of south hip to base of north hip. Or maybe there is another solution or maybe its impossible.<br />

The corners can hold up the valleys and we will have a center post anyway. Once the framing is done and the roof is felted then just go to demo.<br />
<br />
Take off the entire existing roof and put it in a dumpster. Say we will use the existing walls but we'll put them in the dumpster too.<br />
<br />
Re-frame the first floor walls. Put in posts for the hip in the exterior walls Frame a new front gable as a true gable with real valleys. Frame a new roof and then roof the whole thing.Plans are enclosed. I'll revise the schedule.<br />
<br />
<br />
6/27<br />
<br />
Could be an interesting structure. Or impossible :)<br />
<br />
Start thinking about it. Here's some things to think about.<br />
<br />
As a 21' box it was kind of like the garage. For small roofs back 'rules of thumb work and a single 2x12 valley was all that was needed. I was reading last night that for every foot you extend the valley rafter the load increases to the 5th power. For the 24' box the valleys become single lvl117/8's. <br />
<br />
In the most normal roof you keep the walls from bowing out with the ceiling joists. It gets tricky as the point load at the base of the valley gets big. (2/3) of the valley weight) It wants to push out the corners. But we should be able to make that OK with some corner strap fab.<br />
<br />
The tricky part isn't the west valleys, its the east valleys. With the ~ 20'x24' box they land some 4' into the old structure way up in the air at the original ridge. Some how we are going to have to trussify the east edge of the stair landing to resist the movement out of the valleys (among other directions they want to go south and north).<br />
<br />
The really tricky part is the hip rafters running from the old ridge to the new ridge. How do you keep them from bowing out? On the north side you could build a continuous post to the ridge and maybe have this structural tie from the top of the post to the stair platform just right of the stairs. That would be weird but maybe cool. The south hip is trickier as we started to see last night. Perhaps there will be a rod running across the ridge from base of south hip to base of north hip. Or maybe there is another solution or maybe its impossible.<br />
<br />
This, it seems is the next thing to figure out.<br />
<br />

<br />
repeat of question: where is the drain?<br />
<br />
Building an addition is way more difficult and time consuming than 'I have a backhoe handy why not'. The things that are most difficult to do in additions is make the connection to the existing structure so the floor and every thing line up and the roof works. You could frame a new house in the time it takes to detail the connection from one box to an existing structure. The house next door is ugly. You don't fix that by building to it. Its the south side. A couple of fruit trees would be more valuable as a buffer than would building a bigger box.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tobin's plan:====<br />
Hard to talk about a plan not to scale, you got a scanner?<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
It seems big and boxy. Lumber is expensive. I don't think the roof over the porches fixes the boxiness. <br />
<br />
If you don't do design development with closets, then you get in trouble later.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor plan:=====<br />
<br />
It is incredible to me how people end up using so little of their houses. I think it's because rooms are too big and spread apart. A home really only has one center and that's where people want to hang out. It always includes the kitchen. Here your living room area is so remote from your kitchen. The space between the woodstove and the table and the space between the table and the stairs seem too big, too uninteresting and too expensive. The dining room table is the focal point of the house. It seems odd to me.<br />
<br />
My tendency is to think of the stair as the core of the house. Your eye move around and up.<br />
<br />
Your structure and walls are there to create spaces. Interior walls are responsible for creating spaces on both sides. The walls of the bedroom and mudroom do create those spaces but do little (or actually work against) creating spaces in the main living area, it feels like they jut into it.<br />
<br />
Porch seems so skinny. Even 6' seems too narrow, 8' seems better; you can fit around a table, walk by another person. The other challenge is solar gain on the south side. Ideally the overhang/roof structure shades the house in the summer but lets in all the winter sunlight. South west is more problematic, I'd rather be shaded by a tree than have sun in the summer afternoon. In winter when the leaves are gone you can take all that gain.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
<br />
3 new full baths? There goes most of your $30,000<br />
<br />
The 2nd floor bath on south side is under the existing roof plan. You need to reconfigure the roof to accommodate it.<br />
<br />
I find the common space to seem large, awkward and uninteresting.<br />
<br />
====Critique of Tim's plan:====<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
I think the first floor plan works and the second floor plan doesn't. The second floor really needs to be 3' wider and 2' closer to the garage (still 6' away) in order to accommodate 2 bedrooms a bath a study and lots of closet space.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor:=====<br />
I think the main problems are what feels like inefficiency of the space outside the bathroom and bedroom. Perhaps the bedroom closet would be better off on the bath wall. I think you could grab more of that space for the bath.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
11' seems to be a better minimum for bedroom dimension, not including closets. 3' wider takes you taller too. Maybe tall enough to think of a little loft in the center.<br />
<br />
====Buidability:====<br />
<br />
The game as I see it is to build the smallest amount possible and get the biggest bang for the buck. with $35,000 you are in the business of cost optimization, big time.<br />
<br />
If you start fucking around with adding boxes on multiple sides you'd be better off blowing up the existing house, You'll spend less time and money. Unfortunately you won't have a place to live.<br />
<br />
Which brings me to the other constraint. How to build this while you live there so the dog and the girlfriend don't dump you before you finish it (if you ever do). <br />
<br />
First you keep it simple. Second you keep the work are as localized as possible. Third you divide the work into<br />
<br />
This is how I thought of building what i drew:<br />

*phase 1: big box<br />
**a: (july 17-23) sub this out if you can get it done this week<br />
::excavation/foundation behind house. Probably only need 3 sides; along the existing u just need 2-3 2'x2' footings for columns since that whole wall will likely open to the existing house.<br />
<br />
**b:(july 25- 31) (crew of 4, 9 hr days, 8 days)<br />
::Frame roof windows tyvek.<br />
<br />
*phase 2: <s>move to f1 bedroom</s><br />
::<s>Create 1st floor bedroom, move into it. You can do this since south side of the existing roof isn't getting changed. Well actually it is getting changed a bit. </s> Forget it. It will take to long. Move to basement of Portland library for a week and a half.<br />
<br />
*phase 3: (August 1-21) connect and finish the roofs.<br />
<br />
**Take off roof from south side of stairs north. demo and cleanup 1.5 days (I'll be at beach)<br />
<br />
**Put in the south hip rafter beams. There will be a hole on the ridge to pick up the support for the hip rafter running from ridge to new structure. For the section south of the stairs the new roof will just be slapped over the old. 1 day<br />
<br />
**Put in north side hip rafter beam and beam under gable window. 1 day<br />
<br />
**Frame and sheath the new east roof 1 day<br />
<br />
**Frame east gable and roof. 2 days<br />

**Complete the north and south sections and connect to addition. 2 days<br />

This thing about not going full width is killing me. I feel like if we are renting an excavator bob cat we should be able to excavate to extend that front corner out for full width. <br />

If we don't, we are basically leaving space for a driveway that we don't need and not taking advantage of the width the alley affords us. All it gives you is a side yard that's pretty useless space with a view of a big garage.<br />

So I guess I need you to convince me if you really think this is the wrong way to go.<br />

There is a new drawing B in docs. I moved the addition 2" away from the existing house and then fooled with the other slopes and ceiling heights. I made the ceiling in the new space 9', the slope 7/12 and the clear space in the corners ~4'high. The wireframe lines are all the outermost lines of the framing. <br />

I was reading last night that for every foot you extend the valley rafter the load increases to the 5th power. For the 24' box the valleys become single lvl117/8's. <br />
<br />
In the most normal roof you keep the walls from bowing out with the ceiling joists. It gets tricky as the point load at the base of the valley gets big. (2/3) of the valley weight) It wants to push out the corners. But we should be able to make that OK with some corner strap fab.<br />
<br />
The tricky part isn't the west valleys, its the east valleys. With the ~ 20'x24' box they land some 4' into the old structure way up in the air at the original ridge. Some how we are going to have to trussify the east edge of the stair landing to resist the movement out of the valleys (among other directions they want to go south and north).<br />
<br />
The really tricky part is the hip rafters running from the old ridge to the new ridge. How do you keep them from bowing out? On the north side you could build a continuous post to the ridge and maybe have this structural tie from the top of the post to the stair platform just right of the stairs. That would be weird but maybe cool. The south hip is trickier as we started to see last night. Perhaps there will be a rod running across the ridge from base of south hip to base of north hip. Or maybe there is another solution or maybe its impossible.<br />
<br />
This, it seems is the next thing to figure out.<br />

repeat of question: where is the drain?<br />
<br />
Building an addition is way more difficult and time consuming than 'I have a backhoe handy why not'. The things that are most difficult to do in additions is make the connection to the existing structure so the floor and every thing line up and the roof works. You could frame a new house in the time it takes to detail the connection from one box to an existing structure. The house next door is ugly. You don't fix that by building to it. Its the south side. A couple of fruit trees would be more valuable as a buffer than would building a bigger box.<br />
<br />

=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
It seems big and boxy. Lumber is expensive. I don't think the roof over the porches fixes the boxiness. <br />
<br />
If you don't do design development with closets, then you get in trouble later.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor plan:=====<br />
<br />
It is incredible to me how people end up using so little of their houses. I think it's because rooms are too big and spread apart. A home really only has one center and that's where people want to hang out. It always includes the kitchen. Here your living room area is so remote from your kitchen. The space between the woodstove and the table and the space between the table and the stairs seem too big, too uninteresting and too expensive. The dining room table is the focal point of the house. It seems odd to me.<br />
<br />
My tendency is to think of the stair as the core of the house. Your eye move around and up.<br />
<br />
Your structure and walls are there to create spaces. Interior walls are responsible for creating spaces on both sides. The walls of the bedroom and mudroom do create those spaces but do little (or actually work against) creating spaces in the main living area, it feels like they jut into it.<br />
<br />
Porch seems so skinny. Even 6' seems too narrow, 8' seems better; you can fit around a table, walk by another person. The other challenge is solar gain on the south side. Ideally the overhang/roof structure shades the house in the summer but lets in all the winter sunlight. South west is more problematic, I'd rather be shaded by a tree than have sun in the summer afternoon. In winter when the leaves are gone you can take all that gain.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
<br />
3 new full baths? There goes most of your $30,000<br />
<br />
The 2nd floor bath on south side is under the existing roof plan. You need to reconfigure the roof to accommodate it.<br />
<br />
I find the common space to seem large, awkward and uninteresting.<br />
<br />
====Critique of my plan:====<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
I think the first floor plan works and the second floor plan doesn't. The second floor really needs to be 3' wider and 2' closer to the garage (still 6' away) in order to accommodate 2 bedrooms a bath a study and lots of closet space.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor:=====<br />
I think the main problems are what feels like inefficiency of the space outside the bathroom and bedroom. Perhaps the bedroom closet would be better off on the bath wall. I think you could grab more of that space for the bath.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
11' seems to be a better minimum for bedroom dimension, not including closets. 3' wider takes you taller too. Maybe tall enough to think of a little loft in the center.<br />
<br />
====Buidability:====<br />
<br />
The game as I see it is to build the smallest amount possible and get the biggest bang for the buck. with $35,000 you are in the business of cost optimization, big time.<br />
<br />
If you start fucking around with adding boxes on multiple sides you'd be better off blowing up the existing house, You'll spend less time and money. Unfortunately you won't have a place to live.<br />
<br />
Which brings me to the other constraint. How to build this while you live there so the dog and the girlfriend don't dump you before you finish it (if you ever do). <br />
<br />
First you keep it simple. Second you keep the work are as localized as possible. Third you divide the work into<br />

This is how I thought of building what i drew:<br />

This thing about not going full width is killing me. I feel like if we are renting an excavator bob cat we should be able to excavate to extend that front corner out for full width. <br />
<br />
If we don't, we are basically leaving space for a driveway that we don't need and not taking advantage of the width the alley affords us. All it gives you is a side yard that's pretty useless space with a view of a big garage.<br />

So I guess I need you to convince me if you really think this is the wrong way to go.<br />

I looked at making the plan more buildable and less engineered. The idea is to make the box a 24'x24' square. Then the 4 valley rafters land on the 4 corners of the box. The corners can hold up the valleys and we will have a center post anyway. Once the framing is done and the roof is felted then just go to demo.<br />
<br />
Take off the entire existing roof and put it in a dumpster. Say we will use the existing walls but we'll put them in the dumpster too.<br />
<br />
Re-frame the first floor walls. Put in posts for the hip in the exterior walls Frame a new front gable as a true gable with real valleys. Frame a new roof and then roof the whole thing.Plans are enclosed. I'll revise the schedule.<br />

This thing about not going full width is killing me. I feel like if we are renting an excavator bob cat we should be able to excavate to extend that front corner out for full width. <br />

If we don't, we are basically leaving space for a driveway that we don't need and not taking advantage of the width the alley affords us. All it gives you is a side yard that's pretty useless space with a view of a big garage.<br />

I looked at making the plan more buildable and less engineered. The idea is to make the box a 24'x24' square. Then the 4 valley rafters land on the 4 corners of the box. The corners can hold up the valleys and we will have a center post anyway. Once the framing is done and the roof is felted then just go to demo.<br />
<br />
Take off the entire existing roof and put it in a dumpster. Say we will use the existing walls but we'll put them in the dumpster too.<br />
<br />
Re-frame the first floor walls. Put in posts for the hip in the exterior walls Frame a new front gable as a true gable with real valleys. Frame a new roof and then roof the whole thing.Plans are enclosed. I'll revise the schedule.<br />
<br />
<br />
6/27<br />
<br />
Could be an interesting structure. Or impossible :)<br />
<br />
Start thinking about it. Here's some things to think about.<br />
<br />
As a 21' box it was kind of like the garage. For small roofs back 'rules of thumb work and a single 2x12 valley was all that was needed. I was reading last night that for every foot you extend the valley rafter the load increases to the 5th power. For the 24' box the valleys become single lvl117/8's. <br />
<br />
In the most normal roof you keep the walls from bowing out with the ceiling joists. It gets tricky as the point load at the base of the valley gets big. (2/3) of the valley weight) It wants to push out the corners. But we should be able to make that OK with some corner strap fab.<br />
<br />
The tricky part isn't the west valleys, its the east valleys. With the ~ 20'x24' box they land some 4' into the old structure way up in the air at the original ridge. Some how we are going to have to trussify the east edge of the stair landing to resist the movement out of the valleys (among other directions they want to go south and north).<br />
<br />
The really tricky part is the hip rafters running from the old ridge to the new ridge. How do you keep them from bowing out? On the north side you could build a continuous post to the ridge and maybe have this structural tie from the top of the post to the stair platform just right of the stairs. That would be weird but maybe cool. The south hip is trickier as we started to see last night. Perhaps there will be a rod running across the ridge from base of south hip to base of north hip. Or maybe there is another solution or maybe its impossible.<br />
<br />
This, it seems is the next thing to figure out.<br />
<br />
Call me when you get a chance. Im out at 1:40<br />

<br />
repeat of question: where is the drain?<br />
<br />
Building an addition is way more difficult and time consuming than 'I have a backhoe handy why not'. The things that are most difficult to do in additions is make the connection to the existing structure so the floor and every thing line up and the roof works. You could frame a new house in the time it takes to detail the connection from one box to an existing structure. The house next door is ugly. You don't fix that by building to it. Its the south side. A couple of fruit trees would be more valuable as a buffer than would building a bigger box.<br />
<br />
====Critique of your plan:====<br />
Hard to talk about a plan not to scale, you got a scanner?<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
It seems big and boxy. Lumber is expensive. I don't think the roof over the porches fixes the boxiness. <br />
<br />
If you don't do design development with closets, then you get in trouble later.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor plan:=====<br />
<br />
It is incredible to me how people end up using so little of their houses. I think it's because rooms are too big and spread apart. A home really only has one center and that's where people want to hang out. It always includes the kitchen. Here your living room area is so remote from your kitchen. The space between the woodstove and the table and the space between the table and the stairs seem too big, too uninteresting and too expensive. The dining room table is the focal point of the house. It seems odd to me.<br />
<br />
My tendency is to think of the stair as the core of the house. Your eye move around and up.<br />
<br />
Your structure and walls are there to create spaces. Interior walls are responsible for creating spaces on both sides. The walls of the bedroom and mudroom do create those spaces but do little (or actually work against) creating spaces in the main living area, it feels like they jut into it.<br />
<br />
Porch seems so skinny. Even 6' seems too narrow, 8' seems better; you can fit around a table, walk by another person. The other challenge is solar gain on the south side. Ideally the overhang/roof structure shades the house in the summer but lets in all the winter sunlight. South west is more problematic, I'd rather be shaded by a tree than have sun in the summer afternoon. In winter when the leaves are gone you can take all that gain.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
<br />
3 new full baths? There goes most of your $30,000<br />
<br />
The 2nd floor bath on south side is under the existing roof plan. You need to reconfigure the roof to accommodate it.<br />
<br />
I find the common space to seem large, awkward and uninteresting.<br />
<br />
====Critique of my plan:====<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
I think the first floor plan works and the second floor plan doesn't. The second floor really needs to be 3' wider and 2' closer to the garage (still 6' away) in order to accommodate 2 bedrooms a bath a study and lots of closet space.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor:=====<br />
I think the main problems are what feels like inefficiency of the space outside the bathroom and bedroom. Perhaps the bedroom closet would be better off on the bath wall. I think you could grab more of that space for the bath.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
11' seems to be a better minimum for bedroom dimension, not including closets. 3' wider takes you taller too. Maybe tall enough to think of a little loft in the center.<br />
<br />
====Buidability:====<br />
<br />
The game as I see it is to build the smallest amount possible and get the biggest bang for the buck. with $35,000 you are in the business of cost optimization, big time.<br />
<br />
If you start fucking around with adding boxes on multiple sides you'd be better off blowing up the existing house, You'll spend less time and money. Unfortunately you won't have a place to live.<br />
<br />
Which brings me to the other constraint. How to build this while you live there so the dog and the girlfriend don't dump you before you finish it (if you ever do). <br />
<br />
First you keep it simple. Second you keep the work are as localized as possible. Third you divide the work into<br />

This thing about not going full width is killing me. I feel like if we are renting an excavator bob cat we should be able to excavate to extend that front corner out for full width. <br />
<br />
If we don't, we are basically leaving space for a driveway that we don't need and not taking advantage of the width the alley affords us. All it gives you is a side yard that's pretty useless space with a view of a big garage.<br />
<br />
So I guess I need you to convince me if you really think this is the wrong way to go.<br />

<br />
repeat of question: where is the drain?<br />
<br />
Building an addition is way more difficult and time consuming than 'I have a backhoe handy why not'. The things that are most difficult to do in additions is make the connection to the existing structure so the floor and every thing line up and the roof works. You could frame a new house in the time it takes to detail the connection from one box to an existing structure. The house next door is ugly. You don't fix that by building to it. Its the south side. A couple of fruit trees would be more valuable as a buffer than would building a bigger box.<br />
<br />
====Critique of your plan:====<br />
Hard to talk about a plan not to scale, you got a scanner?<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
It seems big and boxy. Lumber is expensive. I don't think the roof over the porches fixes the boxiness. <br />
<br />
If you don't do design development with closets, then you get in trouble later.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor plan:=====<br />
<br />
It is incredible to me how people end up using so little of their houses. I think it's because rooms are too big and spread apart. A home really only has one center and that's where people want to hang out. It always includes the kitchen. Here your living room area is so remote from your kitchen. The space between the woodstove and the table and the space between the table and the stairs seem too big, too uninteresting and too expensive. The dining room table is the focal point of the house. It seems odd to me.<br />
<br />
My tendency is to think of the stair as the core of the house. Your eye move around and up.<br />
<br />
Your structure and walls are there to create spaces. Interior walls are responsible for creating spaces on both sides. The walls of the bedroom and mudroom do create those spaces but do little (or actually work against) creating spaces in the main living area, it feels like they jut into it.<br />
<br />
Porch seems so skinny. Even 6' seems too narrow, 8' seems better; you can fit around a table, walk by another person. The other challenge is solar gain on the south side. Ideally the overhang/roof structure shades the house in the summer but lets in all the winter sunlight. South west is more problematic, I'd rather be shaded by a tree than have sun in the summer afternoon. In winter when the leaves are gone you can take all that gain.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
<br />
3 new full baths? There goes most of your $30,000<br />
<br />
The 2nd floor bath on south side is under the existing roof plan. You need to reconfigure the roof to accommodate it.<br />
<br />
I find the common space to seem large, awkward and uninteresting.<br />
<br />
====Critique of my plan:====<br />
=====in general:=====<br />
<br />
I think the first floor plan works and the second floor plan doesn't. The second floor really needs to be 3' wider and 2' closer to the garage (still 6' away) in order to accommodate 2 bedrooms a bath a study and lots of closet space.<br />
<br />
=====1st floor:=====<br />
I think the main problems are what feels like inefficiency of the space outside the bathroom and bedroom. Perhaps the bedroom closet would be better off on the bath wall. I think you could grab more of that space for the bath.<br />
<br />
=====2nd floor:=====<br />
11' seems to be a better minimum for bedroom dimension, not including closets. 3' wider takes you taller too. Maybe tall enough to think of a little loft in the center.<br />
<br />
====Buidability:====<br />
<br />
The game as I see it is to build the smallest amount possible and get the biggest bang for the buck. with $35,000 you are in the business of cost optimization, big time.<br />
<br />
If you start fucking around with adding boxes on multiple sides you'd be better off blowing up the existing house, You'll spend less time and money. Unfortunately you won't have a place to live.<br />
<br />
Which brings me to the other constraint. How to build this while you live there so the dog and the girlfriend don't dump you before you finish it (if you ever do). <br />
<br />
First you keep it simple. Second you keep the work are as localized as possible. Third you divide the work into<br />
<br />
This is how I thought of building what i drew:<br />
<br />
<br />
*plans filed day after closing<br />
<br />
*plans approved 7/14<br />
<br />
*phase 1: big box<br />
**a: (july 17-23) sub this out if you can get it done this week<br />
::excavation/foundation behind house. Probably only need 3 sides; along the existing u just need 2-3 2'x2' footings for columns since that whole wall will likely open to the existing house.<br />
<br />
**b:(july 24- 31)<br />
::Frame roof windows tyvek.<br />
<br />
*phase 2: <s>move to f1 bedroom</s><br />
::<s>Create 1st floor bedroom, move into it. You can do this since south side of the existing roof isn't getting changed. Well actually it is getting changed a bit. </s> There will be a hole on the ridge to pick up the support for the hip rafter running from ridge to new structure. For the section south of the stairs the new roof will just be slapped over the old.<br />
<br />
*phase 3: connect the roofs.<br />
**Put in the south hip rafter beams<br />
<br />
**Take off roof from south side of stairs north. Put in north side hip rafter beam and beam under gable window.<br />
<br />
**Frame and sheath the new east roof<br />
<br />
**Frame east gable and roof.<br />
<br />
**Complete the north and south sections and connect to addition.<br />
<br />
*phase 4 (fall) : button up the rest.<br />
<br />
*strip rest of existing roof<br />
**frame porch gable to overlay existing roof<br />
<br />
**finish roofing.<br />
<br />
*phase 5: (fall/winter/spring)<br />
<br />
<br />

====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />

====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />
#Kapalua Bay Beach. Located in west Maui, Kapalua Bay Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. If you don’t mind crowds, Kapalua Bay Beach is the perfect bodysurfing destination to be.<br />
#Honolua Bay Beach. Honolua Bay Beach is not only one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches, it’s also one of the most beautiful boasting crystal clear waters, an abundant marine life, a rocky shore line, and lush, green vegetation. It's remote destination also makes it a great beach to bodysurf in Maui. If possible, plan on bodysurfing this area during the summertime as you’ll experience greater visibility than during the wintertime.<br />

====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.<br />
<br />

Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />
#Kapalua Bay Beach. Located in west Maui, Kapalua Bay Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. If you don’t mind crowds, Kapalua Bay Beach is the perfect bodysurfing destination to be.<br />
#Honolua Bay Beach. Honolua Bay Beach is not only one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches, it’s also one of the most beautiful boasting crystal clear waters, an abundant marine life, a rocky shore line, and lush, green vegetation. It's remote destination also makes it a great beach to bodysurf in Maui. If possible, plan on bodysurfing this area during the summertime as you’ll experience greater visibility than during the wintertime.<br />

====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.<br />
<br />

Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />
#Kapalua Bay Beach. Located in west Maui, Kapalua Bay Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. If you don’t mind crowds, Kapalua Bay Beach is the perfect bodysurfing destination to be.<br />
#Honolua Bay Beach. Honolua Bay Beach is not only one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches, it’s also one of the most beautiful boasting crystal clear waters, an abundant marine life, a rocky shore line, and lush, green vegetation. It's remote destination also makes it a great beach to bodysurf in Maui. If possible, plan on bodysurfing this area during the summertime as you’ll experience greater visibility than during the wintertime.<br />

====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.<br />
<br />

Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />
#Kapalua Bay Beach. Located in west Maui, Kapalua Bay Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. If you don’t mind crowds, Kapalua Bay Beach is the perfect bodysurfing destination to be.<br />
#Honolua Bay Beach. Honolua Bay Beach is not only one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches, it’s also one of the most beautiful boasting crystal clear waters, an abundant marine life, a rocky shore line, and lush, green vegetation. It's remote destination also makes it a great beach to bodysurf in Maui. If possible, plan on bodysurfing this area during the summertime as you’ll experience greater visibility than during the wintertime.<br />

====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.<br />
<br />

Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />
#Kapalua Bay Beach. Located in west Maui, Kapalua Bay Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. If you don’t mind crowds, Kapalua Bay Beach is the perfect bodysurfing destination to be.<br />
#Honolua Bay Beach. Honolua Bay Beach is not only one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches, it’s also one of the most beautiful boasting crystal clear waters, an abundant marine life, a rocky shore line, and lush, green vegetation. It's remote destination also makes it a great beach to bodysurf in Maui. If possible, plan on bodysurfing this area during the summertime as you’ll experience greater visibility than during the wintertime.<br />

====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.<br />
<br />

Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />
#Kapalua Bay Beach. Located in west Maui, Kapalua Bay Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. If you don’t mind crowds, Kapalua Bay Beach is the perfect bodysurfing destination to be.<br />
#Honolua Bay Beach. Honolua Bay Beach is not only one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches, it’s also one of the most beautiful boasting crystal clear waters, an abundant marine life, a rocky shore line, and lush, green vegetation. It's remote destination also makes it a great beach to bodysurf in Maui. If possible, plan on bodysurfing this area during the summertime as you’ll experience greater visibility than during the wintertime.<br />

====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.<br />
<br />
===beaches===<br />
Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />
#Kapalua Bay Beach. Located in west Maui, Kapalua Bay Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. If you don’t mind crowds, Kapalua Bay Beach is the perfect bodysurfing destination to be.<br />
#Honolua Bay Beach. Honolua Bay Beach is not only one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches, it’s also one of the most beautiful boasting crystal clear waters, an abundant marine life, a rocky shore line, and lush, green vegetation.

If possible, plan on bodysurfing this area during the summertime as you’ll experience greater visibility than during the wintertime.<br />

====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.<br />
<br />

Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

<br />
====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

<br />
====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />
#Kapalua Bay Beach. Located in west Maui, Kapalua Bay Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. If you don’t mind crowds, Kapalua Bay Beach is the perfect bodysurfing destination to be.<br />
#Honolua Bay Beach. Honolua Bay Beach is not only one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches, it’s also one of the most beautiful boasting crystal clear waters, an abundant marine life, a rocky shore line, and lush, green vegetation. It's remote destination also makes it a great beach to bodysurf in Maui. If possible, plan on bodysurfing this area during the summertime as you’ll experience greater visibility than during the wintertime.<br />

====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.<br />
<br />
===beaches===<br />
Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

<br />
====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />
#Kapalua Bay Beach. Located in west Maui, Kapalua Bay Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. If you don’t mind crowds, Kapalua Bay Beach is the perfect bodysurfing destination to be.<br />
#Honolua Bay Beach. Honolua Bay Beach is not only one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches, it’s also one of the most beautiful boasting crystal clear waters, an abundant marine life, a rocky shore line, and lush, green vegetation. It's remote destination also makes it a great beach to bodysurf in Maui. If possible, plan on bodysurfing this area during the summertime as you’ll experience greater visibility than during the wintertime.<br />

====Haena Beach====<br />
Tunnels Beach in Haena has a wide reef area with a lot of variety. Check ocean conditions prior to your drive there -- you don't want to go if the surf is up or if there's a strong current.<br />
====Anini Beach====<br />
Anini Beach is perfect for beginners, with a safe, shallow area for snorkeling. ====Poipu Beach Park==== <br />
has some good snorkeling to the right side of Nukumoi Point, the tombolo area (narrow strip of sand dividing the ocean). Salt Pond Beach Park, near Hanapepe, has good snorkeling with bountiful marine life in a protected cove.<br />

====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.<br />
<br />
===beaches===<br />
Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

<br />
====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />
#Kapalua Bay Beach. Located in west Maui, Kapalua Bay Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. If you don’t mind crowds, Kapalua Bay Beach is the perfect bodysurfing destination to be.<br />
#Honolua Bay Beach. Honolua Bay Beach is not only one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches, it’s also one of the most beautiful boasting crystal clear waters, an abundant marine life, a rocky shore line, and lush, green vegetation. It's remote destination also makes it a great beach to bodysurf in Maui. If possible, plan on bodysurfing this area during the summertime as you’ll experience greater visibility than during the wintertime.<br />

The reefs off Kee Beach and Haena Beach Park make for great shoreline snorkeling. <br />
====Haena Beach====<br />
Tunnels Beach in Haena has a wide reef area with a lot of variety. Check ocean conditions prior to your drive there -- you don't want to go if the surf is up or if there's a strong current.<br />
====Anini Beach====<br />
Anini Beach is perfect for beginners, with a safe, shallow area for snorkeling. ====Poipu Beach Park==== <br />
has some good snorkeling to the right side of Nukumoi Point, the tombolo area (narrow strip of sand dividing the ocean). Salt Pond Beach Park, near Hanapepe, has good snorkeling with bountiful marine life in a protected cove.<br />

====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.<br />
<br />
===beaches===<br />
Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />
#Kapalua Bay Beach. Located in west Maui, Kapalua Bay Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. If you don’t mind crowds, Kapalua Bay Beach is the perfect bodysurfing destination to be.<br />
#Honolua Bay Beach. Honolua Bay Beach is not only one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches, it’s also one of the most beautiful boasting crystal clear waters, an abundant marine life, a rocky shore line, and lush, green vegetation. It's remote destination also makes it a great beach to bodysurf in Maui. If possible, plan on bodysurfing this area during the summertime as you’ll experience greater visibility than during the wintertime.<br />

====Ke'e Beach==== <br />
A popular beach (yes it's crowded), the end of the road offers a protected lagoon teaming with tropical fish.<br />
====Makua (Tunnels)==== <br />
Tunnels beach offers more privacy than Ke'e with similar ocean wildlife.<br />
====Poipu Beach Park====<br />
Not so many fish, but great for learning, Poipu beach is protected and lifeguarded.<br />
====Lydgate Beach Park====<br />

====Kee Beach====<br />
The reefs off Kee Beach and Haena Beach Park make for great shoreline snorkeling. <br />
====Haena Beach====<br />
Tunnels Beach in Haena has a wide reef area with a lot of variety. Check ocean conditions prior to your drive there -- you don't want to go if the surf is up or if there's a strong current.<br />
====Anini Beach====<br />
Anini Beach is perfect for beginners, with a safe, shallow area for snorkeling. ====Poipu Beach Park==== <br />
has some good snorkeling to the right side of Nukumoi Point, the tombolo area (narrow strip of sand dividing the ocean). Salt Pond Beach Park, near Hanapepe, has good snorkeling with bountiful marine life in a protected cove.<br />

Conditions are almost always good somewhere on Waikiki's beaches for bodysurfing ... especially for beginners. The simple rule here? Always take note of and obey posted warnings regarding surf conditions before heading into the waves.<br />
====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.<br />
<br />
===beaches===<br />
Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

====Waikiki Beach (South Shore)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
Conditions are almost always good somewhere on Waikiki's beaches for bodysurfing ... especially for beginners. The simple rule here? Always take note of and obey posted warnings regarding surf conditions before heading into the waves.<br />
====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.<br />
<br />
===beaches===<br />
Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

<br />
====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />
#Kapalua Bay Beach. Located in west Maui, Kapalua Bay Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. If you don’t mind crowds, Kapalua Bay Beach is the perfect bodysurfing destination to be.<br />
#Honolua Bay Beach. Honolua Bay Beach is not only one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches, it’s also one of the most beautiful boasting crystal clear waters, an abundant marine life, a rocky shore line, and lush, green vegetation. It's remote destination also makes it a great beach to bodysurf in Maui. If possible, plan on bodysurfing this area during the summertime as you’ll experience greater visibility than during the wintertime.<br />

====Waikiki Beach (South Shore)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
Conditions are almost always good somewhere on Waikiki's beaches for bodysurfing ... especially for beginners. The simple rule here? Always take note of and obey posted warnings regarding surf conditions before heading into the waves.<br />
====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.<br />
<br />
===beaches===<br />
Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

<br />
====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />
#Kapalua Bay Beach. Located in west Maui, Kapalua Bay Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. If you don’t mind crowds, Kapalua Bay Beach is the perfect bodysurfing destination to be.<br />
#Honolua Bay Beach. Honolua Bay Beach is not only one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches, it’s also one of the most beautiful boasting crystal clear waters, an abundant marine life, a rocky shore line, and lush, green vegetation. It's remote destination also makes it a great beach to bodysurf in Maui. If possible, plan on bodysurfing this area during the summertime as you’ll experience greater visibility than during the wintertime.<br />

====Waikiki Beach (South Shore)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
Conditions are almost always good somewhere on Waikiki's beaches for bodysurfing ... especially for beginners. The simple rule here? Always take note of and obey posted warnings regarding surf conditions before heading into the waves.<br />
====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.<br />
<br />
===beaches===<br />
Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

<br />
====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />
#Kapalua Bay Beach. Located in west Maui, Kapalua Bay Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. If you don’t mind crowds, Kapalua Bay Beach is the perfect bodysurfing destination to be.<br />
#Honolua Bay Beach. Honolua Bay Beach is not only one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches, it’s also one of the most beautiful boasting crystal clear waters, an abundant marine life, a rocky shore line, and lush, green vegetation. It's remote destination also makes it a great beach to bodysurf in Maui. If possible, plan on bodysurfing this area during the summertime as you’ll experience greater visibility than during the wintertime.<br />

====Waikiki Beach (South Shore)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
Conditions are almost always good somewhere on Waikiki's beaches for bodysurfing ... especially for beginners. The simple rule here? Always take note of and obey posted warnings regarding surf conditions before heading into the waves.<br />
====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.<br />
<br />
===beaches===<br />
Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />
==body surfing==<br />

===Maiu===<br />
<br />
====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />
#Kapalua Bay Beach. Located in west Maui, Kapalua Bay Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. If you don’t mind crowds, Kapalua Bay Beach is the perfect bodysurfing destination to be.<br />
#Honolua Bay Beach. Honolua Bay Beach is not only one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches, it’s also one of the most beautiful boasting crystal clear waters, an abundant marine life, a rocky shore line, and lush, green vegetation. It's remote destination also makes it a great beach to bodysurf in Maui. If possible, plan on bodysurfing this area during the summertime as you’ll experience greater visibility than during the wintertime.<br />

====Waikiki Beach (South Shore)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
Conditions are almost always good somewhere on Waikiki's beaches for bodysurfing ... especially for beginners. The simple rule here? Always take note of and obey posted warnings regarding surf conditions before heading into the waves.<br />
====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets.</div>24.34.117.92https://wiki2.sitebuilt.net/index.php?title=Hawaii&diff=4169Hawaii2011-01-12T21:57:09Z<p>24.34.117.92: </p>

<div>==snorkeling==<br />
<br />
===maui===<br />
<br />
====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />

<br />
====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />
<br />
===beaches===<br />
Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />

<br />
====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

===Oahu=== <br />
====Waikiki Beach (South Shore)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
Conditions are almost always good somewhere on Waikiki's beaches for bodysurfing ... especially for beginners. The simple rule here? Always take note of and obey posted warnings regarding surf conditions before heading into the waves.<br />
====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets. <br />
<br />
===Maiu===<br />
<br />
====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />
<br />
===beaches===<br />
Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />
#Baldwin Beach. The beautiful Baldwin Beach is another one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches yet it may not be around too long in the near future. According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />
#Mokuleia Beach. If you’re looking for the perfect beach for bodysurfing during the winter, then Mokuleia Beach is the perfect destination for you. Be sure to dress accordingly when bodysurfing during the harsh winter months as the water can get quite chilly.<br />

====Ke'e Beach==== <br />
A popular beach (yes it's crowded), the end of the road offers a protected lagoon teaming with tropical fish.<br />
====Makua (Tunnels)==== <br />
Tunnels beach offers more privacy than Ke'e with similar ocean wildlife.<br />
====Poipu Beach Park====<br />
Not so many fish, but great for learning, Poipu beach is protected and lifeguarded.<br />
====Lydgate Beach Park====<br />
Lydgate is protected which makes it another great beach for beginners.<br />
<br />
===kauai===<br />

<br />
Snorkeling the clear warm waters of Kauai<br />
Snorkeling is often the highlight of many people's vacation -- and Kauai offers a wide range of locations, from beginner to expert. <br />
====Kee Beach====<br />
The reefs off Kee Beach and Haena Beach Park make for great shoreline snorkeling. <br />
====Haena Beach====<br />
Tunnels Beach in Haena has a wide reef area with a lot of variety. Check ocean conditions prior to your drive there -- you don't want to go if the surf is up or if there's a strong current.<br />
====Anini Beach====<br />
Anini Beach is perfect for beginners, with a safe, shallow area for snorkeling. ====Poipu Beach Park==== <br />
has some good snorkeling to the right side of Nukumoi Point, the tombolo area (narrow strip of sand dividing the ocean). Salt Pond Beach Park, near Hanapepe, has good snorkeling with bountiful marine life in a protected cove.<br />

<br />
====Kahaluu Beach Park===== <br />
The perfect beginner snorkeling beach. Convenient, calm, loads of marine life.<br />
<br />
<br />
===maui===<br />
<br />
====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

====Waikiki Beach (South Shore)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
Conditions are almost always good somewhere on Waikiki's beaches for bodysurfing ... especially for beginners. The simple rule here? Always take note of and obey posted warnings regarding surf conditions before heading into the waves.<br />
====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets. <br />
<br />
===Maiu===<br />
<br />
====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />
<br />
===beaches===<br />
Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

#Hamoa Beach. The ever popular Hamoa Beach is one of the best Maui bodysurfing beaches. Bodysurfing requires large waves and Hamoa Beach offers some of the biggest waves in all of Hawaii. There are no lifeguards on this beach so use caution when bodysurfing.<br />

According to the Hawaii PV Coalition, Baldwin Beach is one of the beaches Maui stands to lose because of rising sea levels due to carbon dioxide emissions. Bodysurfing Baldwin Beach is a must if you want to get in on the action before it’s too late.<br />

The reefs off Kee Beach and Haena Beach Park make for great shoreline snorkeling. <br />

has some good snorkeling to the right side of Nukumoi Point, the tombolo area (narrow strip of sand dividing the ocean). Salt Pond Beach Park, near Hanapepe, has good snorkeling with bountiful marine life in a protected cove.<br />

<br />
====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />
<br />

====Waikiki Beach (South Shore)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
Conditions are almost always good somewhere on Waikiki's beaches for bodysurfing ... especially for beginners. The simple rule here? Always take note of and obey posted warnings regarding surf conditions before heading into the waves.<br />
====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets. <br />
<br />
===Maiu===<br />
<br />
====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />
<br />

Hanalei Bay Beach, Kauai<br />
====Kauai Kalapaki Beach (Lihue, off Rice Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
The generally mellow surf on this crescent-shaped white sand beach fronting the Kauai Marriott Resort and Beach Club is great for beginning bodysurfers. More experienced bodysurfers take to the waves when the surf is a bit higher.<br />

Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />
<br />
<br />
====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />
<br />
====Lanai Hulopoe Beach (South Shore, adjacent to Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele Bay)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? No<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
On a recent trip to Lanai, we found the island’s best beach for all manner of water activities (snorkeling, swimming, scuba diving) also one of the best we'd seen for beginner bodysurfing.<br />
====Little Beach Maui====<br />
Maui has a couple nudist beaches of which Little Beach is the Mecca for nudists. The waves here are perfect for bodysurfing, and sometimes surfing, but depending on what day and the time of day it is, you may be dodging naked people. During a South or Southwest Swell, the surf can be good here. It offers a left hand reef break off of the South side of the beach. This beach is beautiful and as perfect as can be. On Sundays, you'll find a different atmosphere than usual with crowds unusually large for Little Beach. For sunset, everyone celebrates by swimming and cheering as a large drum circle beats away. Once it gets dark, Little Beach becomes a real spectacle. All types of people, nude or clothed, begin to dance in the circle with fire. The fire dancers at little beach are incredible. You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
====D.T. Fleming Beach Park====<br />
Kapalua has many of the best beaches Maui offers. From Ironwoods to D.T.Flemings, you'll love the beautiful perfect beaches here. Flemings is located on the Upper West of Maui, and the North of Kapalua. It is a public beach park with lifeguards, facilities, picnic tables, barbeque grills, and great water People swim, body surf, and surf here regularly. Flemings has a good-sized parking lot and plenty of beach to lounge on. Like most beaches in Maui, Flemings can get windy in the afternoon.<br />

==snorkeling==<br />
====Ke'e Beach==== <br />
A popular beach (yes it's crowded), the end of the road offers a protected lagoon teaming with tropical fish.<br />
====Makua (Tunnels)==== <br />
Tunnels beach offers more privacy than Ke'e with similar ocean wildlife.<br />
====Poipu Beach Park====<br />
Not so many fish, but great for learning, Poipu beach is protected and lifeguarded.<br />
====Lydgate Beach Park====<br />
Lydgate is protected which makes it another great beach for beginners.<br />
<br />
===kauai===<br />

<br />
Snorkeling the clear warm waters of Kauai<br />
Snorkeling is often the highlight of many people's vacation -- and Kauai offers a wide range of locations, from beginner to expert. <br />
====Kee Beach====<br />
The reefs off Kee Beach and Haena Beach Park make for great shoreline snorkeling. <br />
====Haena Beach====<br />
Tunnels Beach in Haena has a wide reef area with a lot of variety. Check ocean conditions prior to your drive there -- you don't want to go if the surf is up or if there's a strong current.<br />
====Anini Beach====<br />
Anini Beach is perfect for beginners, with a safe, shallow area for snorkeling. ====Poipu Beach Park==== <br />
has some good snorkeling to the right side of Nukumoi Point, the tombolo area (narrow strip of sand dividing the ocean). Salt Pond Beach Park, near Hanapepe, has good snorkeling with bountiful marine life in a protected cove.<br />

<br />
====Kahaluu Beach Park===== <br />
The perfect beginner snorkeling beach. Convenient, calm, loads of marine life.<br />
<br />
<br />
===maui===<br />
<br />
====Black Rock at Kaanapali Beach====<br />
Famous for it's high volcanic ocean cliff which brave divers jump from, Black Rock is a wonderful place to snorkel and swim. The ocean is usually calm in this resort area inviting the masses to swim here. Off of the point, there are sometimes strong currents, so use caution. The beach is large and long with multiple hotels along it. Lifeguards are present, but you'll not find any restrooms unless you're staying at a hotel. Black Rock Maui can be found in the West in the middle of Ka'anapali Beach. Swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving at Black Rock are all amazing because of the abundant coral, bright tropical fish, and gentle sea turtles.<br />
<br />
====Kapalua Beach====<br />
One of the most beautiful beaches in Maui is Kapalau Beach. At the Kapalua Resort, this beach is the kind of tropical perfection you expect from Maui. It has great swimming, snorkeling and scuba diving all around this area. Another Kapalua Beach is Ironwoods. This beach is often uncrowded, but the water here isn't great for swimming. The reef is shallow from the shore all the way out. It's dangerous to be in the water here especially during the winter swells. But, in saying this, the beach is breath-taking.<br />
<br />
====Puamana Beach County Park====<br />
Another great spot on the way to Lahaina is Puamana Beach. It has all the facilities you may need with picnic tables, bbq grills, and restrooms. A popular Maui surf spot for longboarding, Puamana Beach Park is a great place to swim and snorkel as well.<br />

====Waikiki Beach (South Shore)====<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both, but best for beginners.<br />
<br />
Conditions are almost always good somewhere on Waikiki's beaches for bodysurfing ... especially for beginners. The simple rule here? Always take note of and obey posted warnings regarding surf conditions before heading into the waves.<br />
====Becoming knowledgeable about the 5 best Oahu bodysurfing beaches is a must if you plan on visiting this tropical, carefree destination at a future date. From the challenging Makapu'u Beach to the daring Sandy Beach, there are many great places for bodysurfing in Oahu.<br />
<br />
====Makapu’u Beach====<br />
The Makapu'u Beach is one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Makapu’u Beach is the perfect beach for “experienced” bodysurfers as it features strong currents and an equally strong undertow. Along with boasting key requirements for bodysurfing, Makapu'u beach also features blue crystal clear waters, over-towering cliffs in the distance and tropically cool waters. <br />
====Pounders Beach==== <br />
The naturally beautiful Pounders Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. According to the University of Hawaii, Pounders Beach is one of the most popular bodysurfing beaches on Oahu. If you want to beat the crowds, be sure to visit during a weekday morning when most people are either too busy with work or school.<br />
====Ehukai Beach Park====<br />
The Ehukai Beach Park is the place to be if you’re an adventurous, risk taking type of guy. The National Healthy Beaches Campaign reports that Ehukai Beach is one of the world’s most famous surf sites, making it an excellent location for bodysurfing. According to Hawaii Beach Safety, traffic is very heavy everywhere on the north shore especially during the winter surf season, so be sure to steer clear of this place during the winter season if you don’t like crowds.<br />
====Waimanalo Bay Beach====<br />
If you’re looking for the perfect family friendly bodysurfing beach, then look no further than Oahu’s very own Waimanalo Bay Beach. Accrding to the National Healthy Beaches Campaign, this beach features a shallow sandbar at the water’s edge that provides good waves for bodysurfing and body boarding. This is a great place if you’re a beginner at the sport of bodysurfing.<br />
====Sandy Beach====<br />
Sandy Beach is another one of the best Oahu bodysurfing beaches. The University of Hawaii reports that the currents on Sandy Beach can be quite strong, so it’s not recommended to go into the water unless you’re an experienced body surfer. If you’re not an experienced bodysurfer, steer clear of this place as it’s only for professional, experienced bodysurfers.<br />
<br />
====Big Island of Hawaii====<br />
<br />
Hapuna Beach (South Kohala Coast, off Queen Kaahumanu Hwy)<br />
<br />
Lifeguard on duty? Yes<br />
For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both.<br />
<br />
The Big Island’s most popular bodysurfing beach is also one of its most beautiful—a half-mile stretch of white sand dunes with the most crystalline surf on the South Kohala Coast. Surf here is almost always ideal for bodysurfing. Beginning bodysurfers, however, should stay out of the water during occasionally higher surf sets. <br />
<br />
===Maiu===<br />
<br />
====Hamoa Beach (West Maui outside of Hana, off Haneo'o Road)====<br />
<br />

<br />
Conditions for beginning bodysurfers are best here during the summer and fall. Larger winter and early spring surf, however, should be left to the more experienced.<br />

====Maluaka Beach & Po'olenalena Beach (South Maui, off Makena Road)====<br />
<br />

For beginning/experienced bodysurfers? Both<br />
<br />
Among a string of white sand beaches along the coast of the Makena Resort area, these two are the best for bodysurfing when the waves are up.<br />

<br />

You'll sometimes find professional fire twirlers with more than one ball of fire and fancy flaming outfits. The imagination is strong at Little Beach when it comes to new and entertaining ways to play with fire. We've seen everything from heated hula-hoops to burning bras. You'll enjoy this ceremony that occurs every Sunday night. You don't need to get undressed either. Bring a flashlight to get back over the cliff at night. Lately the police have limited the event to stop around 9pm, so get there before sunset to really experience Maui's Little Beach activities.<br />
