3. We like to walk, so the walk to the beach was 5 to 10 mins depending on what piece of the beach appealed to us, we looked for the sandiest entrance to the water, cause there is rocks and coral just in front of the logoon side of the hilton (bring water shoes, cause that is a nice beach otherwise, water was very warm there) If you sit in front of the Hale Loa hotel the beach is fine for bare feet.
