Honoli’i Beach Park, Hilo, HI
Honoli’i Beach Park was a beginner & traveler friendly surf spot near Hilo, HI. I visited this beach 4 times during my 2.5 day of stay at Hilo.
When I visited, wave size was 1’-2’, occasional 3’. There is one rock that you need to watch out for during low tide. Facing the ocean, it’s like left side of the life guard tower.
