Reeds Bay Beach Park
Reeds Bay Beach Park Review
Safe swimming, proximity to downtown Hilo, and a freshwater-fed swimming hole, called the Ice Pond, that flows into the backwaters of Hilo Bay are the enticements of this cove. No, there really isn't ice in the swimming hole; it just feels that way on a hot sultry day. The large pond, between Hilo Seaside Hotel and Harrington's Restaurant, is a favorite of local kids who enjoy jumping into and frolicking in the chilly fresh- and saltwater mix. There is no real beach here, however.

If you attempt to swim here I would suggest water shoes and a wet suit; it is cold and has a rocky bottom! On hot days, the locals will often be seen jumping from the railings in the "Ice Pond" side.
