Steady waves daily. East coast Hawaii waves that are generally smaller than other shores. Nice long rides. Winter waves are larger than other seasons.
Drive north from Hilo toward Hamakua and Waimea. The beach is on the right less than five miles out of town. This is a state park area and suburb of larger and wealthier homes. The area "Honoli'i" is marked with a large sign on the main Highway (19).
Orchid Manor.
Parking is tough on the narrow beach road. Grand theft auto and break-ins have happened many times here. Drive slowly on the single lane road that handles two way traffic.
