Review:
Also known as Richardson Ocean Park, this Hilo beach park contains multiple stretches of black sand and rocky formations.
It's a very popular beach for nature enthusiasts and wildlife spotters, with lots of green sea turtles showing up in the area at all times of year.
Richardson Beach Park is therefore a good snorkeling beach in Hilo, but it's ideal for many other activities too and is the perfect place for people who want to get in the water.
You can go for a full swim at the Richardson Beach Park or simply explore the rocky areas to find naturally-formed pools of warm water in which to sit and relax.
Lots of families come to Richardson Beach Park throughout the year and the constant presence of lifeguards helps to make this one of the safest beaches in the area.
