Getting Here:
Take HWY 11 south towards Hilo. Turn right onto Kamehameha Avenue (State HWY 120 towards Keaukaha Beach Park). Richardson Beach Park is the last park (located on the ocean side of the road). There is usually parking available. However, sometimes you might need to park on Oeoe Street and walk to the park.
