Things To Do

Kehena Beach

Outdoor Activities

Kehena Beach, a stunning black sand beach, is frequently visited by dolphins and whales. It is a 10 minute walk from Ocean Spirit. Continue along the same road and there is Kalapana, a village buried under lava. An interesting area but very unstable land under your feet. Kehena Beach

On your drive to Pahoa on Highway 130, just around the corner coming from Kalapena, is the old Star Of The Sea church built in 1929 and rescued from the approaching lava flow.

Isaac Hale Beach Park is a good scuba diving site and turtle watching spot. A 15 minute drive from Ocean Spirit.

Shopping

Pahoa is your closest town for everything you need. It still has an old Hawaiian feeling to it. Stroll along the boardwalk and little side streets. There is a grocery and hardware store in Pahoa village just at the end of town. Downtown has banks and little antique stores and a big and well stocked health food store which has a delicious section of prepared food to go.

A big open market happens every Saturday and Sunday on Highway 130 on the way to Hilo. Everything you can imagine is offered there.

Hilo has all the shops and malls you always wanted to explore. Check out the old downtown area with the nice stores and boutiques. There is also a big farmers market there every day in the morning.

Dining

Just a half mile down the road the Kalani Seaside Resort has an excellent restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. For a wonderful Ahi burger or an occasional Luau at the end of the coastal road there is Uncle Robert's Hamburger Shack, about 10 minutes away in Kalapana.

There is a surprising variety of restaurants in Pahoa. Paulo's Italian is our favorite, and we have often enjoyed the Thai restaurants, the Village Cafè or the Mexican restaurant. And in downtown Hilo there is no end to fine dining.
