Mahukona Beach Park

Mahukona Beach Park is on the site of an old sugar company property on the northwest shore of the Big Island. It’s a popular place for swimming as the harbor is usually protected from wind and waves.Some of the old sugar mill buildings still remain, including one near the shore that says “Hawaii Railway Co. LTD 1930” on the facade. Adjacent to the parking lot there’s a large concrete dock with a rusting crane and other concrete structures. A ladder is provided on the dock for those that go swimming and snorkeling in the harbor. Scuba diving from the protected harbor entrance is common too. Use caution when walking or climbing around on the old structures as they have sharp rusty parts and can be slippery too.The campground is located on the south side of the property. If you only plan to stay for the day, picnic tables with barbecues are provided too. A trail to a light tower begins at the camping area – just follow the shore about 200 yards from where the trail starts. If you followed the shore southward much farther you’d run into Lapakahi State Historical Park, an archaeological site with a separate entrance (free parking and highly recommended).

Ho‘okena Beach Park

Ho`okena Beach Park is the historical site for one of the last active Hawaiian canoe fishing villages in Hawai'i. Ho'okena has a rich cultural history and remnants of its old commercial steamship pier remain. There are canoes strewn across the beach owned by the fishermen who continue traditional Hawaiian fishing practices passed down from their ancestors, if you are lucky you may see the fishermen launch their canoes or come back with a bounty full of fish.The beach is an exotic blend of a wide variety of coral and fine, gray sand. Depending on the time of year, the ocean is placid and the clear, blue waters reveal spectacular underwater landscapes and a colorful array of fish, when there is a south swell, watch the local boogie boarders masterfully ride the near shore break. The sunsets are amazing and the sunrise above the pali (cliffs) are breathtaking.Ho`okena Beach Park is an excellent place to camp under the stars, listening to the soothing, sound of waves crashing on the beach then waking up to a gentle, sea breeze to a spectacular view found nowhere else.
