Honolii Beach Park

19° 45.3′ N · 155° 5.5′ W

Hilo's main surf spot, a black-sand and cobble beach at a stream mouth north of town where spectators watch from the road above.

Practical

Coordinate from to-hawaii's map. The bottom drops off fast and rips are common - surfers, not swimmers. A deep pond at the stream mouth is a better swim. Shady grove for picnics.

Best for

Surfing and surf-watching
