Onekahakaha Beach Park at a Glance
Searching for the perfect family-friendly beach? Look no
further than southern Hilo on Hawaii’s Big Island. The Onekahakaha
Beach Park is one of the safest beaches on the island, protected
from the surf and brimming with beautiful sights of the
Hilo Bay. Local and visiting families come together here
year-round to enjoy the sun and let their kids play to their
hearts’ content.
The main feature of the park is a large, shallow sand pool
conveniently set apart from the rest of the bay. It’s a
popular spot for beginning swimmers as the water is clear
and the bottom is very soft. There are also lifeguards on
duty, so you can be sure your kids are safe while you check
out the rest of the park.
There’s also a smaller rock pool with a large population
of sea urchins. It’s not as kid-friendly as the main pool,
but it’s definitely worth a look. On land, you’ll find wide
expanses of soft grass where you can sit back, play some
games, or simply look out at the sprawling Hilo Bay. Picnic
tables and pavilions are provided, so just bring your food
and have a nice picnic by the shore.
There is no dull moment at Onekahakaha, as cultural events
are held here throughout the year. The busiest time is naturally
in the summer-there’s something going on here practically
every day. If you’re looking for a fun day out with your
family, head over to Onekahakaha and join in the fun!

Safety Tip
Whatever beach in Hawaii you visit, please have in mind that the ocean can
be very dangerous. Never turn your back against the waves and watch out for underwater
currents and always check the surf conditions. Pay attention to signs posted on
the beach. If you are not sure about the conditions, ask the lifeguards (if any
on the beach). Please
