Lapahoehoe Beach Park, Hamakua Coast
Lapahoehoe Beach Park is a rocky beach park with so much atmosphere. Wispy pine trees move in the breeze while waves crash on the huge pebbles which rumble as they move in the current. Go to the far left side near the restrooms and climb over the huge pebbles so you're nearer the shore (not too close!) Then wait for a big wave and listen to the rumble! On the left side, you can also have a wonderful picnic in the shade.
On the right side of the beach is a boat ramp and next to it a beach with small pebbles (occasionally this beach washes away). Here you can have a refreshing swim in the inky blue water. It's a joy!
In the middle area of the beach park there are pointy black rocks that jut out of the water. It makes for an interesting view.
The drive down to the beach park is quite long so plan accordingly.
After, have a meal at Papa'aloa Country Store and Cafe. If you can plan to come during one of their live music events, even better, because they have some amazing musicians! You can also buy a picnic at this store, to bring with you to the beach park!
