Hilo

Beautiful beach wit massive turtles!
#blue
Located just south of downtown Hilo on the Big Island’s east shore, Onekahakaha Beach Park is the ideal beach for families with small children and for tidepooling. There is a sand-bottomed cove that is separated from the open ocean by a boulder break, so the nearshore waters are shallow and free of currents or wave action. Also, lifeguards are on duty year-round.

Surrounding the cove are a few tide pools, which are sometimes visited by sea turtles. The largest one of them is home to a large population of sea urchins, as well as sea cucumbers, brittle stars, cone shells, sea urchins and sea anemones. However, this pool is not as children-friendly as it has a rockier and deeper bottom and is not protected by the breakwater. Also, it is subject to currents.

The water is crystal clear and shallow behind the boulder wall so its a great place to watch beautuful waves hit the rocks. We did see at least two water turtles wading here. The kids loved it!
Mesmerising black sand beach on the Big Island. This was my forth Honu on this trip! #beachbound

Not often you see Honu's sun bathing in a very busy ocean park. Such a rare sighting, feeling blessed! #hawaii #beach #ocean #hilo #turtle #animal

The internet was sporadic but that could be due weather conditions since it was a stormy 5 days. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The restaurant service was slow. Overall our stay was good and I would stay here again.
