We loved this little island and had a great time walking through it. Wished we had more time to spend here so that we could have swam in the different areas of the island. This place was so relaxing and beautiful! The view was spectacular. Loved that it was near Liliuokalani Gardens. More

Coconut Island is attached to the mainland via a small bridge. It is a very small park with benches and grassy areas. There is not much to see except it gives a view across the bay. There are signs on the coconut trees to watch out for falling coconuts and fronds. More

Good place to snorkel but not a wide variety of marine life to view. Mini sand beaches. Perfect shade to no-shade ratio. Good picnic spot. Not crowded on weekdays. More

This is a neat little green space on an island in Hilo bay, the best part was the high water marks showing the hight of the last 4 Tsunamis that have devestated Hilo. Awe inspiring. More

A small island with a little tidepool for kiddos to chase after fish and a nice large park area. We came here for a walk but thought had we planned ahead it would have been quite nice to picnic. More
