Description

Mainly known for its scenic beach park, Ho'okena is one of the Big Island's hidden gems; its soft sand and lava formations brush against the leafy cliffside as the ocean creates several tidepools and blowholes for visitors to marvel at. Some of the sights not to be missed are the lava tubes caused by volcanic eruptions and the dolphins that occasionally show up near the shore. Camping is also available, but be wary of loose trails and ungroomed nature. Also, no lifeguards are on duty, so keep your eyes on the ocean, as the riptide can be surprising.
