The best place in Hanalei to enjoy the sunset. Very popular with tourists and locals. Also a nice beach to swim or hang out. To get there from main road in Hanalei- turn next to Kalypso restaurant, go to end of street and turn right. Drive a few blocks and it will be on the left.

Waiting in the covered pavillion with lots of seating sure beats standing in the sun on the Lahaina dock. There are restrooms and a general store but unfortunately it was closed due to the virus.

From this location you can see the acrobatics of the spinner dolphins. At the beginning of the pier there is a great place for young and old alike to get into the ocean. At the end of the pier you will find some great snorkelling. This beach is where the Ironman race takes place in September.

If you're an experienced open water swimmer or a lap pool swimmer looking to try your first ocean swim, this spot is fantastic. From here, you can swim the Ironman swim course along buoys (some of which are there year-round). In early October, the water was a balmy 82ish degrees, and very clear. For several hundred yards, you're over coral in crystal clear water, so you can spot a few fish as you swim. If you're not a super confident swimmer and have a buddy who wants to Stand-up-paddle or kayak along to spot you, you can rent a SUP or kayak from the Kona Boys Stand right at the pier. There is also a community group that does a swim most mornings at 8am, so you may be able to join some other swimmers for less of the sense of "I'm in the ocean all by myself!" And there's also a little shelf where you can leave your shoes and a few items. I left shoes there twice and they were still there afterwards.
6. Ahukini State Recreational Pier
7. Kahului Harbor

9. Bikeshare Hawaii Island

Bikeshare is now in Kona! Grab a bike from one of our Alii Drive stations, ride and dock it at the same or any another station when you are done. Easy. To get started: Arrive at one of three bike kiosks now on Ali'i Drive and use a credit card to get a bike. $3.50 will get you to most popular destinations on Ali'i drive. Return it to any kiosk within the time you selected. That's it!

I live here in Hilo and have been riding these bikes for about three months. The bikes are regularly checked and in great shape, three gears that change smoothly. You can start by Hilo Bay, ride to downtown, park it at the Bikeshare Kiosk there, and then head to a cafe (once they've reopened). Then get on another bike and ride back. Or vice versa. There's a separate bike path, as well as one along the road. During the present (May 2020) pandemic, there's even a special offer for residents. Great way to enjoy the gorgeous scenery along the water in Hilo.
10. Sand Harbor
Has a good fishing pier.
