Travel tips
Magic Sands is directly across Ali'i Drive, but guest reports note that surf conditions can be rough for inexperienced swimmers; Kahalu'u Beach is about a mile away. The unit is in the building set behind the other two in the complex, and its listing notes that it is a little farther from the beach than those buildings. Allow for the final 10 steps to the condo after taking the elevator to the third floor.
