  La'aloa
Beach Park – also known as Magic Sands or White Sands beach. It's called
Magic Sands because when rough surf hits, all of the sand is emptied
off the beach and
 temporarily moved out to sea. No need to worry, it
all comes back eventually. If the surf is up, you can see avid
body-boarders and surfers here. You can get to La'aloa from
Alii
 Drive, and, because of its proximity to
Kona hotels, it is often well-populated. There is always a
lifeguard on duty here; facilities include: showers, bathrooms and a
volleyball net. This beach is located just North of
Kahalu'u Bay Beach Park, right on Ali'i
Drive.

 There
is a really nice shore-break at Magic Sands. The waves can get
moderately high and even curl on their way to breaking on the sandy
shore. Often you will see a crowd of people relaxing in their
beach chairs watching the breaking waves and the
 youngsters on their
body boards. We have enjoyed body boarding for hours at this
beach - just keep an eye out for the big Kahuna roller wave that
will take you for a very hard ride! Parking is tight and many
simply park alongside Alii Drive (even though there are no parking
signs throughout).
