Always and Forever Summer

Coconut Island Pier

Summer on the Big Island of Hawai'i bring families to Hilo Bay to enjoy the water, the sunshine, and the company of family and friends.  One could say that Hawai'i is the land of eternal summer, but we do have our seasons.  The seasons are slight and can appear hidden among the warm waters, the lush greenery, and the gentle breezes.

Paddler with Child

Paddlers dot Hilo Bay, standing on their surf boards with their long paddles, floating over the water from Coconut Island to the Hilo Bay shoreline.  Almost like walking on water, paddling on the water has become a popular sport, and a mesmerizing to watch.  Gentle waves push the boards along the water.

Hula Dancer

On Coconut Island, the Art of Hula is performed along with the music of Hawai'i.  Like the swaying of the Palm Trees, a dancer used her hands to convey the message of the song's story.  Events like this happen almost daily here in Hilo.  There is no other place like it in the world.  Aloha!
