Visitor & Driver Tips

Sun protection is recommended when parking for prolonged periods during the day, as Kohala Coast temperatures can rise quickly and the surface lot has limited tree shade; consider using a windshield sunshade. During late afternoon and early evening hours, traffic along Waikoloa Beach Drive picks up as visitors head toward sunset viewpoints and resort dinner reservations, so plan your arrival accordingly. Always lock your rental vehicle and secure beach gear, electronics, and personal valuables out of sight before heading to the beach or shops.
