Hanalei Bay Makes Lonely Planet's 'Top-10 Beaches for 2025'

Beat of Hawaii reports that Hanalei Bay has made Lonely Planet’s Best In Travel exclusive list of the top 10 beaches in the world for 2025.  The following is a breakdown of the entire list:

First: Whitehaven Beach, Queensland, Australia
Second: Squeaky Beach, Victoria, Australia
Third: Anse Source d’Argent, La Digue, Seychelles
Fourth: Sunset Beach, Trang, Thailand
Fifth: Sarakiniko Beach, Milos, Greece
Sixth: Haukland Beach, Lofoten Islands, Norway
Seventh: Playa Balandra, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Eighth: Pfeiffer Beach, California, USA
Ninth: Hanalei Bay, Hawai‘i, USA
Tenth: Platja Illetes, Formentera, Spain

As Beat of Hawaii put it, "Hanalei Bay’s appeal lies in its inimitable blend of natural beauty and versatility. Stretching two miles, the beach offers something for everyone. Its calm, crystal-clear waters are ideal for paddleboarding and swimming during summer. Winter transforms the bay into a surfers’ haven, attracting both seasoned surfers and curious spectators alike.  Its setting is just as remarkable. Towering emerald peaks adorned with cascading waterfalls provide a postcard-perfect backdrop that is hard to remember. At the same time, the iconic Hanalei Pier invites visitors to take in the sunset or try their hand at fishing. As Kauaidoug noted, 'I don’t think there are many prettier places in the world than at the end of Hanalei Pier.'"
