Coconut Island

I while back I posted (here) that next time I was in Hilo I should visit Coconut Island. Last week I was able to do just that. There’s a footbridge to reach the island, which is small and popular. There are some nice views, though the view of Hilo itself wasn’t as good as I’d hoped.
