We ventured down to Kalapana and Kaimu Beach Park. In 1990, lava flow destroyed and partly buried Kalapana and Kaimu Bay, both of which now lie buried beneath more than 50 feet of lava. Kaimu Bay was known for its black sand beach surrounded by shady palm trees. After the volcanic destruction, local residents started a crusade to replant the beautiful coconut groves destroyed by the lava flow.
Kehena Black Sand Beach... also a nude beach...had to go down a little cliff to get to it. Was beautiful though.
Ahalanui Beach Park. This is a spring-fed, walled-in pool that is volcanically heated to a comfortable 90 degrees.
Kapoho Tide Pools. Best snorkeling on the Hilo side. This unusually large collection of tidepools and spring fed pools stretches almost a mile down the coast and extends up to 200 yards out into the ocean.
We went to the Panaewa Rainforest Zoo. Its a super small zoo with a few animals. But it was free and a great day for a walk. We ended up taking a bunch of pictures with all the benches they have everywhere... I only shared a few but I have a ton of them.
