Isaac Hale Beach Park at a Glance
Located on the eastern edge of Pohoiki Bay on the Big Island’s east shore, Isaac Hale Beach Park is a small two-acre (8,094 sq. m) park and is often times quite crowded. It’s popular among picnickers, shoreline fishermen, surfers, campers and boaters. However, the swimming conditions are poor here due to strong currents and waves.
There is a boat ramp which fishermen use to launch their boats. The Pohoiki Warm Springs, another attraction in this beach park, are located inland and surrounded by lush vegetation. To get there, walk along the shoreline trail that begins to the right of the boat ramp. Follow it inland for about 150 yards (137 m). The pool is volcanically-heated and is located in a lava sink.
Water activities that are possible at Isaac Hale, besides fishing, include surfing and bodyboarding. The waves are best in the center of the bay, but a rip current is often times present here. Swimmers usually stick to the area around the boat ramp. The beach itself is composed of black sand and pebbles, but most surfers and swimmers use the boat ramp as en entry/exit point to the ocean.
