Food Scene

This is a lovely restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch. It is very quaint. The food is awesome and they make fresh pies. The location is high up on a hill and you can see the shoreline and Kealakekua Bay. You can also watch the hang-gliders who take off from further up the hill

You can swim, snorkel and see the turtles basking in the sun. Just park in the Honokohau west side parking lot - look to your north and follow a tree shrouded path (easy walk) and you will be there!

This is a great beach, it involves a bit of a hike, be sure to bring lots of water to drink. This is very close to South Point. It is a bit of drive but well worth seeing.

The park is a great place to learn about the "birth of the island" as well as the other islands. It has been damaged by the recent volcanic event but there is a lot to see and it is not too far away by car. I would set out early in the morning and make a day of it!

The Captain Cook Monument on the shore of Kealakekua Bay, the largest natural sheltered bay on the Big Island of Hawaii, marks the spot where British explorer Captain James Cook was killed in 1779. You can snorkel there too, it is a beautiful place to see. You can only get there by kayak, boat, or on a very steep, 2-mile trail. You can book a trip on one of the snorkel boats that go to this location and make a day of it!
