Chocks
Edit SpotAbout
Cool spot when you want to try something different besides Honolii and Richardsons. Rarely breaks, but when it does its a nice left over the reef. The break is kind of like Richardsons, needs to be over 5 foot face to really be fun. Ive never seen a shark there before, but theres lots of Vana so be carefull walking/paddling out.

From Hilo drive towards 4 miles, past the breakwall , make a left down Keokea Loop, drive down to the end and park, walk down the small entrance behind the rock wall. Beach is down there past the coconut trees. Very shallow water, will need to walk out most likely, break is just outside.
