🏖️ Isaac Hale Beach Park

Isaac Hale Beach Park is an oceanfront park on Pohoiki Bay in the Puna District of the Big Island of Hawaiʻi, Hawaiʻi, United States. Known for its strong currents and large waves, the bay was part of a fishing village for centuries. It was one of a few places on the southeastern shore of Hawaiʻi for ocean access and boat launching. The park used to be known for good snorkeling, though the 2018 lower Puna eruption covered most of the coral and safer swimming area with black sand. The park was expanded and modernized in 2006.
