Nokomis Beach
beach★ 4.8 (808)
The county's first public beach still works like a town commons: year-round lifeguards, a boat ramp and kayak launch, shell-thick sand, daily 9 a.m. yoga at the North Jetty, and a drum circle that gathers by the lifeguard stand every Wednesday and Saturday at sunset. Eight hundred reviewers hold it at 4.8 — and show up twice a week to prove it.
Best time to go
Wednesday or Saturday, an hour before sunset, for the drum circle.
Local tip
Free beach wheelchairs check out from the lifeguard towers daily between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
