About North
Hilo
North Hilo, located between Hakalau and Papaikou, is a rural and coastal Laupahoehoe neighborhood with a rugged shoreline and rainforest gulches. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Laupahoehoe Point Park area off Mamalahoa Highway, where oceanfront lawns, picnic tables, and lookout paths set a steady, salt-air pace. Plantation-era cottages and simple hillside homes sit among palms and ironwoods, with frequent views toward Mauna Kea and the Pacific. The Laupahoehoe Train Museum anchors local history in a compact, walkable stop. Hawai‘i Tropical Botanical Garden adds a lush, curated counterpoint to the wild coastline. Scenic pullouts and short trails frame daily routines around weather, surf, and waterfalls.
