Keolonahihi State Historical Park might not be the best for swimming with its rocky beach, but the stunning view of Kealakekua Bay and the Captain Cook monument makes this park a sight to see.  This historic site has religious significance as Hiki’au Heiau, the ruins of an ancient temple, used to lay here.

A popular beach for enjoying the blue water is Magic Sands.  This is one of the best beaches on the West Coast for swimming, surfing, boogie boarding, and even snorkeling.  During the winter you will witness the “Magic” behind Magic Sands where the surf physically pulls the sand off the beach and exposes the underlying lava rocks.  When the sand is washed back onto shore you may notice the sand seems clean and clearer.  This is how the pristine white sand beach maintains itself.  A volleyball net is also handily equipped if you are not in the mood to dip your toes in the ocean.  White Sands Village is an ideal Kailua Kona rental right across the street.

For additional shopping, dining, and golfing you will want a Kailua Kona vacation rental on the Southern half of the coast.  The coast down here leads into the city of Keauhou.
