Richardson Beach

Richardson Beach

Richardson Beach is located just outside of Hilo, Hawaii, on the Big Island. The name Richardson comes from its original owner and builder of the still standing home there, Robert Richardson. Richardson was a direct decedent of King Kamehameha the Great, and at one time the Chief Detective of Honolulu before retiring to Hilo.

Today the beach is a public park, and the home is occupied and operated as the Richardson Ocean Center.

Richardson Beach is the only beach in Hilo with black sand.
