Visit Spencer Beach Park for a Fun Family Beach Day With a soft, white sandy beach, calm water, accessibility and great amenities, Samuel M Spencer Beach Park is an ideal destination for beachgoers seeking that idyllic beach day for their family or campers looking to hear the waves crash under a starry night sky. As one of the northernmost white-sand beaches on the Big Island, it’s a change from the rockier shores of North Kohala. The park is perfect for picnics with great family facilities: restrooms, showers, drinking water, including a large picnic pavilion with tables for the entire family and electrical outlets for your crockpot. The close proximity to Kawaihae and Waimea makes it easy to run into town for meals, snacks or grocery items. Spencer Beach Park is Keiki (kid) Friendly With shallow water at its shoreline, Spencer Beach Park is an excellent playground for kids. Swimming is very popular at this location as the water is mostly calm due to a long, shallow reef offshore breaking high waves and strong currents. When conditions are calm, it’s a great spot for snorkeling, especially for beginners and there is a lifeguard station here for added safety.
