Quiet area, but LOTS to do:
1. Lava flowing down the hill and into the ocean (night is best). Rent a bike and save the walking for once you get there.
2. Uncle Robert's on Wednesday nights is a modern luau. Great food, drinks, and people.
3. Black sand beaches within walking distance. Secluded feel at the bottom of a cliff. Clothing optional.
4. Several nice waterside parks to the north.
5. Thermal heated tide pools for snorkeling (just south of the lighthouse).
6. Thermal heater pools for relaxing (south of the heated tide pools).
7. Great healthy food in Pahoa.
