Isaac Hale Beach Park Reopens 12-6-2018

Isaac Hale Beach Park, (Pohoiki Beach Park), will reopen to the public on Thursday, December 6th.

• There will be a 24-hour security presence.
• New park hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
• There will be no camping until further notice.
• The park will not have an available water source, as lava damaged the county water lines leading to the park. Park visitors are encouraged to bring plenty of drinking water for hydration.
• Portable toilets will be available for public use until water is restored.
• The lava flow created four Natural Ocean Thermal Ponds. The Department of Health is giving notice that these ponds are not disinfected and, due to the risk of bacterial infections, the public should not enter these ponds if they have open wounds. Enter these ponds at your own risk.
• There is a dangerous shore break on the new black sand beach and dangerous ocean currents which could cause injury. Enter the ocean at your own risk.
