This is my favorite beach in Hilo. I love it because of its perfect for family outings, potlucks, picnics and parties. There are bathrooms available as well as 5 pavilions available for use on a first come first serve basis(unless reserved by permit). The water here is brackish(salt & fresh water). There are a few barbecue pits for public use as well as faucets for washing dishes and hands. However nothing can compare to the views! The views here are amazing.

Lava rocks, locals, ocean, sand, and almost no tourists. Its pretty difficult to get to, but its worth the drive. Watch the sharp lava rocks, wahine. It’ll shred your slippahs. Mahalo.

Hawai’i County Beach Park. I regularly visit this park to catch bait for fishing. This park is packed on weekends with many locals hanging out all weekend. During the summer, this entire coast is covered end to end with tents, many locals live out here 24⁄7. Unfortunately, over the past weekend(March 2008) I took some guests there to eat lunch by the ocean(mid afternoon on a Saturday) and we were harassed by a local person. He was outright rude and looking for trouble, and more than likely on meth. Even after having pot blown into my face, we walked and didn’t want any trouble. While, I like this park alot, use your common sense here. If you must visit, come in the mornings when people aren’t around(and the locals are docile and hungover). A more friendly park is Onekahakaha Beach Park, anything further east and deeper into Keaukaha is filled with more locals. If you haven’t figured out what I mean by locals, send me a PM. Rocky shoreline with tidepools. Swimming, fishing and picnicking. Lifeguards, picnic areas, parking and pavilions. Hazardous waves, currents and footing. Open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Multiple parking areas along the western end of the developed portion of Leleiwi Beach Park adjacent to Kalaniana‘olé Avenue. Check for high/low tide times to be prepared.
