Review & FAQ:
Conveniently located just a short walk from downtown Hilo, Hilo Bayfront Park is one of the main beaches in the area.
This was once a highly popular beach with tourists and locals alike, but its popularity actually led to its downfall several decades ago.
Fortunately, recent renovations in the area have helped to bring Hilo Bayfront Park back to life.
The sands here are dark in color and coarse to the touch, and the waters aren't really recommended for swimming, but it's a popular spot to simply walk along and admire the views.
Many kayak and canoe enthusiasts can be seen out on the waters here as well, and the western far end of the beach is a popular spot for surfing.
