Shipman Cove Beach...
2.5 miles from the end of the road to the cove.  Great hike through a jungle that leads to a beach covered in lava.  The hike then turns into a climb over lava, loose stone and boulders.
The cove is a nesting spot for Green Sea Turtles and passing Humpback Whales.

We had the cove to ourselves and these guys.
The perfect place for a picnic or to camp out!! Make sure you bring the marshmallows and build a little fire, and watch the shooting stars all night!! Taking a leisurely walk down to the beach and see the sea turtles! Beautiful and relaxing walk!Open some coconuts and pick some mangoes because this is going to be a night to remember!

Kelly was a wonderful host. Since she had cancellations while we were there (Jan 2026) she upgraded us to the master with ensuite. There are 3 bedrooms in total. Everything was spotlessly clean and there were all kinds of snacks and coffee, tea, milk available. Kelly made lovely breakfast for us ...

It had everything we needed. A bit farther out of Hilo than we expected, but that is our fault for not looking closer.

Our stay at the cottage was magical!! Lisa and Veltry were the sweetest, most amazing hosts. They even brought us a Christmas tree and lights for our little one!

Small town charm and great food without the hustle of many tourists.

Very affordable area, lush tropical forest, close to Hilo,

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

This is the best way to see the big island. Skip the resorts and helicopter rides, rent a car, and just drive till you see something you want to visit. Plenty of things to see and do to fill a week+. Will be going back; hopefully soon.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

It is a rather non descript small town.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Sadly we only spent one night at this location. We would have loved to have stayed more nights to see more of the sites.
