Holoholokai Beach Park

The Holoholokai Beach Park can be found off of Highway 19 in Northwest Hawaii on the Big Island. The beach is more rock than it is sand. It has amenities and views of Kohala Resort. It is the northernmost beach of the island. Visitors can enjoy sun, water, shade, and grass that are all along the beach. It is a common place for family and friends to enjoy. Swimming is hazardous due to the many lava rocks. Surfing is allowed but it is always best to check conditions. The water can be calm sometimes, but it is still better not to swim.

Holoholokai Beach Park has restrooms, showers, BBQ grills, picnic tables and shady areas for visitors to use. There are no lifeguards on duty, which means it is dangerous to swim or surf alone. Another interesting part about the park is the Malama Petroglyphs trails. The trail can be walked around the park, where visitors can see old petroglyphs and learn a bit of the Hawaiian history. There are roughly 3000 carvings. The hike is about 25 minutes and very easy. It is not possible to make rubbings of the petroglyphs. Parking is onsite and free.
