Onekahakaha Beach Park

Fodor's Review:

A white-sand beach with a shallow, enclosed tide pool makes this a favorite for Hilo families with small children. The protected tidal pools are great places to look for Hawaiian marine life such as small fish, brittle stars, sea cucumbers, seashells, sea urchins, and more. The water is usually rough beyond the line of large boulders protecting the inner tide pools. Caution is advised in times of heavy surf.
