Located on the Big Island of Hawaii, Hapuna Pt is a fun beach break that offers up a decent barreling shore break when the swells pick up. The waves here can be a bit challenging to surf and break for up to 50 meters over a sand bottom. There is also a close by reef peak that offers up heavy barrels on a West swell.
