1. This beach , also known as A-Bay, is not located in Hilo. It is actually on the oceanside of Waikoloa Resort (about 27 miles from Kona). See directions and see website:
DIRECTIONS:
Take Highway 19 north from Kona toward the Kohala Resort Area. Turn left at Mile Marker #76. Turn left at the road across from Kings' Shops. Parking for the beach is at the end of this road.

2. Sunset weddings
Absolutely awesome place for sunset weddings! Almost never rains and if you get a photographer who is experienced at taking sunset wedding pictures, you will have spectacular wedding pictures!
(Yes, I am speaking from personal experience. My husband and I had our wedding on the beach there about 2 years ago. Besides the sunset pictures, we had great pictures in front of the flowers and park-like area!)

Anaeho'omalu Bay is a great escape from the busier beaches on the Kohala Coast. Here, you can have your choice of prime real estate for your beach towel!
There is a rocky area between the petroglyph field and the white sand beach. This area is great for finding seashells, but you'll need to be patient. I've found many varieties of cowries and cone shells in very good shape.

This is easily a better beach than the more popular Hapuna and Mauna Kea beaches, the only thing lacking is surfable waves. However, the snorkeling, the swimming conditions, the facilities, the parking, the crowds, the wildlife, the cleanliness, all are better.
The Marriott seems to have gone out of their way to hide the public access parking lot. Take a left after you pass the Queen's Marketplace.

This beach is off Highway 19, between Kona and Waimea. This is a more peaceful, less-touristy alternative to neighboring Hapuna Beach. A long crescent of white sand - fronting the Hilton Royal Waikoloa Hotel. A popular West Hawaii spot for windsurfing - location of many archaeological sites including two fishponds and a large petroglyph field. There are a lot of cool trees at this beach, as well and you can often spot turtles.
