The island of Hawaii is the youngest and largest in the chain, and much of its shore is black lava rather than sand. Rentals cluster on the dry west side: along Alii Drive in Kailua-Kona and Keauhou, where condos sit on the rocks above the water, and up the Kohala coast around Puako and Waikoloa, near Hapuna and the other white sand beaches. The east side around Hilo is green, wet and far quieter. Expect clear water, sea turtles and good snorkeling close to shore.
