Hawaii (Big Island) beaches you can park at

10 Hawaii (Big Island) beaches with mapped parking within 150m of the sand, nearest first — measured to the beach itself, not to its midpoint.

Of the 27 Hawaii (Big Island) beaches with a page here, 10 have a formal car park mapped within 150m of the sand, and the 10 nearest are listed below. The median walk from car to sand on this list is 40m, and 1 of them park you within 25m of it. The rest of the 27 either park further out or have nothing formal mapped at all.

Sorted by how far the nearest mapped car park is from the beach OUTLINE rather than from its centre point. That distinction matters: measuring to the midpoint of a two-kilometre beach overstated distances here by 76m on average, and by more than 100m at 47 beaches. Only formal, mapped parking counts — informal roadside and verge parking is common in Hawaii and is not in OpenStreetMap, so there may well be closer options than shown.

Facilities, parking and shoreline data come from OpenStreetMap, and a beach can only be ranked on what somebody has mapped — "not mapped" is not the same as "not there". Distances are measured to the nearest point of the beach itself.
