Bahía de Kealakekua
About
On Hawaii (Big Island), Bahía de Kealakekua sits in the Hawái 96704 area, on the Kona coast south of Kailua-Kona. The marina is known for its position on the Kona coast, where boats moor along the shoreline. First-time visitors should expect a working harbour setting rather than a resort-style waterfront, with vessels kept along the bay.
Visitors have given it a 4.6 out of 5 score from 148 reviews, a record that reflects steady use by those travelling the Kona coast. Captain Cook sits inland and upland from the bay, so the road down to the water winds through coffee country before reaching the shore. Kailua-Kona lies to the north along the same coastal route.
Reaching Bahía de Kealakekua from the main resorts means driving south from Kailua-Kona along the coast, with the turn-off inland at Captain Cook leading down to the bay. Trade winds blow from the northeast across Hawaii, bringing most rain to the windward coasts, which is why the Kona side stays drier through the year.
Hawaiian food includes plate lunches, poke made from raw fish, and kalua pork cooked in an imu earth oven, which is easy to find along the Kona coast. Lei garlands made from flowers or shells are given in Hawaii to mark greetings, birthdays and graduations, and visitors may see them worn at local events. Hawaiian Creole English, commonly called Pidgin, is spoken widely across the islands, which visitors may hear in everyday conversation around the bay.
