The parking attendant is not there to help you park, rather he is there to keep others from parking in their lot and walking to other places down the street.
Come to beautiful, remote Puna District!
Breathtaking vistas as far as the eye can see. Scenic mountains! Blue ocean horizons! Rainforests, and more!
It will be helpful when parking in this isolated, truly off-the-beaten-path region, to note some of the following regulations and guidelines:
Kaleo's Restaurant in Pahoa - Ironic Non-valet Customer Parking. Hipsters will enjoy pulling into the parking lot to find the attendant will not park your car, but will keep non-customers from taking your spot before you arrive.
Uncle Roberts - Take State Highway 130 south, turn right on State Highway 132. Park anywhere near the end of State Highway 132 and pay the privately employed attendant $2.
Maku'u Market - Enter off Highway 130, pay $1 at the booth, which will entitle you to park several blocks away from the venue. Enjoy miles of walking through the aisles lined with vegetable sellers, prepared foods, plants, books, clothing, live music etc. When you've taken in all there is to see and hear, your cardio workout will be complete in just another 5 or 10 minutes when you arrive back at your car. Cheaper than a gym membership!
Lava Flows - Do not park on highway shoulders in an attempt to view upslope lava flows. There is no parking on the highway. And viewing of the lava by residents or visitors is highly discouraged. "Do not behold the eye off the Gorgon!" Unless the Gorgon has sufficiently cooled, hardened, and is in an area shackled in chain link fencing and rope, and staffed by county employees.
Remember, this is the last frontier. Our wide open spaces are for all to enjoy, as long as you park your car in an appropriate manner!
