Coconut Island, or Moku Ola is a small island in Hilo Bay, just offshore from Liliʻuokalani Gardens, in Hilo, off the island of Hawaiʻi in the state of Hawaii, USA. It is a small park, and is connected to the main island via a footbridge. The island includes a large grassy field, picnic areas, restroom facilities, and a few tiny sandy beaches.[1] The name Moku ola literally means "healing island" in the Hawaiian language, since it was site of an ancient temple dedicated to healing.[2] It is located off Banyan Drive at coordinates 19°43′46″N 155°4′7″W / 19.72944°N 155.06861°W / 19.72944; -155.06861Coordinates: 19°43′46″N 155°4′7″W / 19.72944°N 155.06861°W / 19.72944; -155.06861.[3]
