You’ll find this little island right in Hilo Bay, just north of the Liliuokalani Park and Gardens. It’s connected to land by a pedestrian bridge. The island has two sandy beaches, plus plenty of grass and picnic tables so you can enjoy a leisurely stay. The main attraction on Coconut Island is a small diving platform at the north end of the island. Kids (and adults!) love to launch themselves from both the 10- and 20-foot levels into the water below. If you’ve got an active crew, Coconut Island offers the perfect backdrop for an afternoon of fun.
