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
