Drive around the building and at the end of the picnic grounds, there is a trail along the coast. This trail goes for miles and there is lots to explore. Be sure to have sunscreen and water if planning a long hike.
There is no snorkeling allowed in the Park, but right next to it is Two-Step; the best snorkeling in Big Island.

Things to do
Closest access to snorkeling, nice picnic benches and grassy area. Its best if you swim to the right after you enter water. Also check out the rocky shoreline by walking a short trail from inside park out to the point. Parking area is small and busy on weekends.
