Big Island
Which beach on the Big Island has calm water which would be good to wade or for snorkeling right offshore.

depends on the side of the island, but the kapoho pools are wonderful.

The beach at Natural Energy Labs just south of the Kona airport has a nice tidepool for wading. Kahaluu Beach Park south of Kailua-Kona on Alii Drive has protected snorkeling and lots of turtles.

Kahaluu Beach Park - 2 miles south of Kona, on Alii Drive. Reef-protected and home for some turtles.
