Holoholokai Beach
Mauna Lani, Big Island
<p>What this small beach park lacks
in a sandy shoreline, it makes up in gorgeous ocean and mountain vistas, shady
picnic areas, public restrooms with handicapped parking and picnic tables. In
addition, there is a public beach trail that allows access to the sandy
shoreline beach areas fronting the Fairmont Orchid Resort. In addition, visitors
to this beach are welcome to take the short self-guided tour though the Puako
Petroglyph Park located at the north edge of the parking lot. The park allows
visitors to experience the rock carvings of ancient Hawaiians. </p>
<p>This beach is perfect for
picnicking, beachcombing and exploring the numerous tidal pools, the
unpredictable pounding surf and unpredictable currents make it not the best
beach for novice swimmers but a wonderful spot for expert divers and fishermen.</p>Lifeguard: No
