Richardson beach
Located on the east coast of the Big Island of Hawaii near the Hilo International Airport. It is part of Richardson Ocean Park and is famous for its green and black volcanic sand. Petrified lava flows and coastal reefs form bizarre natural pools ideal for swimming and snorkeling. The water in them is calm and clear, so you can spend hours watching the exotic life of marine life without fear of waves and ocean currents.

Beach description
Be sure to take care of special shoes so as not to get injured on corals and sharp stones. Outside the pools there are powerful overruns, but still not as dangerous as on most of the Hawaiian coast.
Another attraction of these places are giant green turtles, which can be found both in coastal waters and on the coast, among black stone boulders. The safety of reptiles is monitored by volunteers and rescuers, it is strictly forbidden to feed animals and touch them.
The beach is surrounded by a picturesque park where you can soak up the soft lawn in the shade of exotic trees or organize a picnic. For the convenience of vacationers, stationary toilets, showers, beach pavilions and convenient parking are provided.
When is the best time to go?
To lay off on the beaches of the mainland, it is best to come in the summer, when a sufficiently warm temperature is settled for swimming. Places like Florida or the Hawaiian Islands are comfortable all year round.
