Top 10 Hawaii Beaches To Work As A Lifeguard

Hawaii!

Someone says Hawaii and we immediately conjure up imagery of vacation, relaxation, beaches, and fun. Rarely do we hear people say, “Hi there, I work in Hawaii.” Of course people work in Hawaii, but it often seems like an intangible ideality to actually live in the beautiful state.

Here’s the good news: living in Hawaii can become a reality and you can have fun at the same time. With its many different islands filled with kids, surfers, and other beach attendees, the “Aloha State” is always in need of lifeguards. With no further hesitation, we’re going to examine the top 10 places in Hawaii to be a lifeguard.

10) Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Oahu

You can find Hawaii’s biggest city, Honolulu, and its famous Waikiki beach in the quaint island of Oahu. One of the most densely populated of the islands, Waikiki beach boasts of its first-rate surf beaches, a historic harbor, a lovely driving circuit surrounding the coast, and plenty of inland greenery for scenic walks. This large stretch of beautiful water and soft sand is one of the finest places to be a lifeguard.

9) Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve

About 10 miles east of Waikiki Beach is yet another dazzling beach named Hanauma Bay. This bay is situated in the crater of a volcano and offers safe snorkeling and scuba diving for all types of divers. The beach is large in its land size and in its number of visitors. Over 2000 people visit on a daily basis! Calm waters reside at this sandy, palm-shaded setting and the nature preserve even contains its own hiking trails along the ridge. If you’re an action-seeking lifeguard, this is certainly the beach for you.

8) Kaanapali Beach, Maui

Yet another amazing beach island in Hawaii is Maui. Maui is ringed with over eighty shores ranging from black-sand to light gold-sand beaches, rarely crowded but always peaceful. The Kaanapali beach is one of the eighty fascinating beaches in Maui. This soft and sandy beach is located in front of the Kaanapali Resort, stretching almost 3 miles from Kahekili Beach in the north to Canoe Beach in the south. Surrounded by remarkable hotels and high-caliber restaurants, Kaanapali offers one of the most reputable places for water-sports in Hawaii. We think it’s safe to say this is a lifeguard haven.

7) Kapalua Beach Park

Known for its convenient public parking and restroom area, Kapalua Beach offers the same views for a minimal price. This beach is a beautiful, gold-colored stretch along the coast of the Keanae Peninsula, hoarding spectacular views of the mountains. Many claim that Kapalua is one of the safest beaches on Maui, but we all know it couldn’t earn this title without an abundance of lifeguards.

6) Lanikai Beach

The literal translation of Lanikai, “heavenly sea,” is the perfect description of this paradise. Lanikai Beach is found along Mokulua Drive, located on Oahu’s east side. Dubbed Hawaii’s best swimming beach by Oahu’s residents, this mile-long strip of golden sand is clean, surf-free, and teeming with palm trees. Just because it’s surf free doesn’t mean it’s free of swimmers, though. The freshwater drags patronage from beach-goers and as we’ve said before, where there are beach goers there should certainly be lifeguards.

5) Kailua Beach

Stretching almost 3 miles of soft, golden sands scattered with shade trees and breathtaking views of the Kooloau mountain range, Kailua is said to have the “world’s best view.” This is a premium windsurfing site for pros and amateurs alike, with gear rentals and lessons available. Other popular activities are kayaking, body boarding and of course, swimming. Kailua has all the usual facilities –restrooms, showers, picnic areas, and…LIFEGUARDS!

4) Punalu’u Black Sand Beach

About 30 miles south of Hawaii Volcanoes National park sits this spectacular gift of nature, the very famous Punalu’u Black Sand Beach. A pleasant surprise at this hot spot is the plethora of turtles crowding the beaches. Don’t let us forget to mention the “surfable” waves at Punalu’u Black Sand, making it an ideal beach for regular beach-goers, tourists and lifeguards alike.

3) Lahaina Beach Maui

Often dubbed “Hawaii’s Marriage Beach,” this island is the perfect getaway. The beach is full of newlyweds and families but that’s not all that makes this paradise so romantic. It features a long stretch of glistening sand and varying colors of the beach water, which is surely enough to lure in all beach-goers. If it’s fit for swimming, it’s due for lifeguards.

2) Hamoa Beach

Situated near the quaint town of Hana, east of Maui, Hamoa is a tranquil public beach overlooking the palm-topped island of Alaui. Praised for its magnificent views of the tree-lined bay, Hamoa Beach is in need of lifeguards. Looks like it’ll be an easy job to land AND an easy job to keep! What are you waiting for?

1) Poipu Beach Park

Poipu Beach Park is not only rumored to be one of Hawaii’s best beaches, but it is also packed with tons of things to do and places to see. It is known for its unique shape and excellent swimming beach. This island’s lava borders create a sheltered pool with still, shallow water, which is great for families with kids. Because of its popularity, this coral beach can be crowded. And crowded beaches? “Enter, Lifeguards”!╚
