Onekahakaha Beach Park
Shallow, rock-wall-enclosed tide pools and an adjacent grassy picnic area make this park a favorite among Hilo families with small children. The protected pools are great places to look for Hawaiian marine life like sea urchins and anemones. There isn't much white sand, but access to the water is easy. The water is usually rough beyond the line of large boulders protecting the inner tide pools, so be careful if the surf is high. This beach gets crowded on weekends. Amenities: lifeguards (weekends and holidays only); parking (no fee); showers; toilets. Best for: swimming.
Address: Onekahakaha Rd. and Kalaniana'ole Ave., take Kanoelehua St. to Kalanianaole Ave. 3 mi east of Hilo, look for the sign, Hilo, HI, 96720
