Holoholokai Beach Park gives visitors a glimpse of Hawai'i's ancient art and culture, showcasing the impressive Puako Petroglyphs, the state's largest-known collection of ancient drawings and etchings.
Visitors can take the Malama Petroglyph Trail to the site, which is home to more than 3,000 works of art on immense boulders. Back on the beach, black lava rocks and white coral rubble make for a beautiful contrasting shoreline, though the ocean shoreline's high surf and rocky bottom prevents safe swimming conditions. Day-use picnic sites offer tables and barbecue grills, while grassy lawns provide opportunities for sports and other play. Public restrooms and showers are also offered for visitor use.
