Kona Coast on the Island of Hawaii

The Sunny & Yummy Coast

The Kona Coast is a delicious part of Hawaii Island. Coffee and macadamia nuts famously grow here, but so do cocoa, fruit, and tea. The honey farms are sweet and the breweries are cool. Foodies and sun lovers alike will enjoy this part of Hawaii Island, which is also known as the “Big Island.”

History fills the coast as much as farmland does. You can visit museums, cultural organizations, and places once frequented by Hawaii’s first king. The sunlit coastline also boasts the greatest snorkeling spots on Hawaii Island, where you can sunbathe at one of the few black sand beaches around the world and maybe even see some sea turtles while you’re there.
