Sunscreen or Wear spf upf shirts have fun out there That’s where we’re going that was a nice Shot of the black sand beach In the coast wow It’s pretty rough down there this beach Has a pretty nasty undertow And some big surf so don’t go swimming Down there so we’re at polo lou Lookout right now you see this parking Lot fills up about nine a.m nine am Right now on a monday It’s already filling up there’s more up The street but definitely get here early We are going to go down the pulladoo Trail down to a black sand beach It’s point six miles down it’s steep it Has some switchbacks it’s a little muddy So we’ll see what it’s like but This is a cool place right just coming Here for the view alone is worth It you don’t have to do this hike we got To mention 400 feet elevation So 400 feet down to the beach [Music] Was it worth coming down here buddy I think so [Music] Henry and i are at richardson ocean park Right now it’s about 15 minutes south of Hilo This is in our opinion the best place to Go snorkeling in hilo And i can see why some rough seas out
There today but it’s nice and calm In this great little tide pool right Here it’s really shallow And it’s great for families this is Probably one of the best family beaches Also over here in hilo if you disagree With any of this let me know in the Comments below Tell me what your favorite place to go Especially with the kids this is also a Great place to see sea turtles Southern tip of hawaii beach i think i’m Pronouncing that right hope so This is my favorite black sand beach in All of hawaii It’s really soft sand it’s got sea Turtles always resting right over my Shoulder It’s got lifeguards even has a Refreshment shack Right here too and even has shade it’s Really nice and there’s a cute little Town for lunch with food trucks just up The road It is a cloudy day this beach usually is Very bright and vivid but this is magic Sands beach and it is a really nice Beach In kailua-kona it’s called magic sands Because in the winter the sand washes Away I will say it’s a smaller beach than What you’ll find up like on the kahala Coast
And that’s because you’re in town There’s just not a whole lot of space Here But there’s a lifeguard there’s nice Water nice sand and it’s a great spot to Enjoy All right in our last beach we’re going To take you back south to the southern Point of the island it’s papa kolua Beach Hope i’m pronouncing that right also Goes by mahana beach Or just the green sand beach yeah this Beach is tough to go to and this is why We didn’t go during the last trip and we Didn’t get out we didn’t get any footage For it it’s about an hour and a half South of kailua kona and then once you Get there You have to hike two and a half miles There and it’s a long hike recommend Going this beach in the morning because It’s a lot cooler And less windy there but it is worth it Because it is a green sand beach And is one of only two in america so Pretty unique down there We have so many more beaches to go to And other details about how to get there Where to find parking and other pro tips Places to go to lunch exactly all those Good things make a full day of it Check out our itinerary at the Hawaiivacationguy.com
