- - Magic Sands Beach Park / Laaloa Beach Park
    The Hawaiian name for this park is Laaloa, but it's also referred to as Disappearing Sands, White Sands and Magic Sands. The sands of the beach really do pull a disappearing act when the crashing winter waves come, reappearing gradually as the weather and waves calm down. When the weather is fine, there's plenty of sand on this beach and plenty of people to enjoy it. Bodyboarders, swimmers, sunbathers and picnickers descend upon the pretty little crescent of "magic sand" in the heart of touristy Kailua-Kona.
