Honoli'i Beach Park is a popular surfing beach on the Big Island's eastern coast, approximately 2.2 miles north of the city of Hilo. As one of Hawai'i's only year-round surfing beaches, the beach is staffed by county lifeguards and showcases unique surfing conditions during each season. Summer waves make for ideal conditions for novice surfers, while high winter surf conditions make for excellent challenges for experts. The park's black sand, beach glass, and coral rubble beachfront is also a popular spot for fishing, though its conditions are not ideal for swimming in most areas. Several spectator areas allow visitors to watch surfers, while day-use picnic areas offer privacy underneath a grove of native trees.
