A local hotspot that is great to pick up for a picnic on the beach or a last meal on the way back to the airport. Try our favorites: spicy garlic chicken and spicy ahi poke bowl. And grab a delicious coffee next door at Kona Mountain Coffee.

Of course you must have shave ice. Scandinavian is refreshing and bursting with flavors! For the best experience get ice-cream in the middle, a snow cap of condensed milk, and walk across the street to enjoy your shave ice while sitting on the sea wall to enjoy the view.

Local Beaches

Best Beach to Snorkel. This is my favorite snorkeling spot on the island. As soon as you step into the water you are surrounded by coral and amazing fish. Not a great beach for little kids or sunbathing but snorkeling is fantastic! There is a parking lot, volunteers to educate you about the coral and sea life, and picnic tables.

Breathtaking valley and my favorite hike on the island. It is a short but steep hike down to a beautiful black sand beach with breathtaking views of the valley. Be prepared with sunscreen and lots of water for the hike but if you are able it is well worth it! After your hike enjoy refreshing snack at Fresh off the Grid down the street.

Hawaiian History

Beautiful beach front national park that was once an ancient Hawaiian settlement. There is a Heiau(temple), a reconstructed thatch roofed, and several historic fishponds. This is also a beautiful beach and my favorite place to look for sea turtles, just keep your distance. You can enter at the visitor center with a short hike through lava fields or enter at Honokōhau harbor much closer to the park.

The Pu'ukohola Heiau is one of the last Hawaiian temples to be built. It was built under KIng Kamehameha and led to hime ruling all of the Hawaiian Islands. There is a self guided audio tour that ends in at Spencer Beach. The views are stunning and you can look for black-tip reef sharks swimming in the bay.
