Beautiful beach wit massive turtles!
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

The rooms were clean but our shower knob broke off and couldn’t be put back on. The interior of it was completely rusted. When checking in the lady was rude and showed no aloha or care. The restaurant had great food and the severs were amazing!

This hotel has clean rooms. The outside grounds were beautiful. The walls are a little thin, so you could hear if people were being loud. Overall, the hotel was quiet so it did not bother us much.
