Instead of feeling like an unwanted guest at Miloliʻi Beach Park, head to Honomalino Bay, less than a mile's walk south. With sand the color of all Big Island beaches crushed into one – green, gold, tawny and black – this beach has gentle swimming (for kids too) and reef snorkeling. Look for the marked public path beginning just beyond Miloliʻi's public basketball courts by the yellow church and up the rocks.
When in doubt, keep to the right fork along the trail. Respect all private property and kapu (no trespassing) signs.
