La'aloa Park — Attraction in Hawaii

People friendly park.. not very big beach area but big enough. The waves .. you have to watch out for BUT there is a life guard. Some area is rocky and there's a drop off.. so must be careful. GREAT BEACH TO SNORKLE! Lots of yellow tang fish (the reason why Kona got its nickname "the Gold Coast"). Plenty of yellow, blue and orange fishes. There's lots of coral as well. The waves get pretty crazy but when they are calm, it's one of the beat areas to snorkle. The lifeguard will post signs or warn you over the PA. Parking is easy and free.

The Mahi grilled sandwhich was fresh and flaky and perfectly seasoned. Fabulous shaved Brussels sprouts.. first we've had thrm.with peanuts! this place is Magic- fresh food, amazing drinks, best views and to die for sunset!

If you visit Kona ..don't miss out on Magic food, this lovely white sand beach and one of the best sunsets on the island! I...

Beautiful sand, beautiful sunsets, limited parking, showers to rinse off at & a restaurant right next store. I love this beach but it’s worrisome to see so many people/children get hurt in the water because they overestimate...

Nice little park and beach with a sandy area and lifeguard. The lava rocks do make it a bit difficult for young kids and those with mobility issues to get to the water. Waves and current can get quite strong so you need to be cautious Best to go in the morning as it gets busier during the day with limited parking.

Unfortunately in the afternoon and evenings it gets very noisy with loud cars and loud music. Car radios with bass that can be heard 1/2 mile away, can be a real problem and there doesn’t seem to be any courtesy or...
