Perched along the rugged Hamakua Coast, Ninole is where the Big Island reveals its wilder, more soulful side. Towering cliffs drop into deep blue waters, the air hums with tropical birdsong, and the horizon stretches uninterrupted for miles. The homes here, nestled along Old Mamalahoa Highway, offer sweeping views of the Pacific and a front-row seat to Hawaii’s natural drama: sunrises that flood the sky with color, afternoon mists rolling in from the valleys, and nights lit only by the stars. Ninole is quiet, authentic, and deeply restorative. It’s a place to disconnect from everything except the rhythm of the ocean and the raw beauty that defines the Big Island. Just south of Ninole, Hilo is the Big Island’s soulful hub, a lush, rain-fed town where waterfalls meet farmers’ markets, and Hawaiian culture isn’t performed, it’s lived. Mornings begin with the scent of rain and coffee, afternoons drift between art galleries, oceanfront walks, and local flavors that feel both familiar and new. Hilo is less about luxury in the traditional sense and more about depth, connection to land, to people, and to pace. From Liliʻuokalani Gardens to the edge of Rainbow Falls, every corner hums with the island’s history and heart. For guests staying along the Hamakua Coast, Hilo offers everything within easy reach, charming dining, vibrant local markets, and a gateway to Volcanoes National Park, all while keeping you close to the quiet beauty of Ninole.
The Hamakua Coast isn’t about beach umbrellas and gentle surf — it’s where cliffs meet the sea in breathtaking fashion. From Ninole, the coastline rises high above the Pacific, offering dramatic views, cool breezes, and the sound of waves crashing hundreds of feet below. Most homes here are perched along these bluffs, so direct beach access is rare — but what you gain is privacy, panoramic ocean vistas, and a front-row seat to the island’s raw, untamed beauty. Here are the best spots to head to the beach:
Laupāhoehoe Point Beach Park (10 minutes north) – A beautiful, rugged park where waves crash over lava rocks and tide pools shimmer under the sun. It’s perfect for picnics, photos, and exploring the shoreline — though not ideal for swimming due to strong currents.
Hakalau Beach Park (20 minutes south) – A hidden gem tucked at the end of a lush valley. You’ll cross a small bridge and descend toward a stream-fed cove. Swimming conditions vary, but it’s one of the most scenic coastal spots near Ninole.
Honoli‘i Beach Park (just outside Hilo, 30 minutes south) – The area’s go-to surf spot and a favorite with locals. A river meets the ocean here, forming a black-sand beach that’s ideal for watching surfers and soaking in the local vibe.
Carlsmith Beach Park (Keaukaha, Hilo) – A string of calm, spring-fed lagoons with easy swimming and sea turtle sightings. It’s the best “swimmable” beach experience near Ninole and perfect for families.
