The South Kohala coast of the island of Hawaii is home to Waikoloa Beach. Ancient Hawaiian history and culture, including petroglyphs believed to represent the heavens, stands side-by-side with ultra modern full-service resorts. Waikoloa is also home to fine examples of traditional Hawaiian aquaculture. In 1985, the University of Hawaii renovated the Anchialine ponds which today nuture a wide variety of sea life. Nearby Anaeho'omalu Bay has the Ku'uali'i and Kahapapa Fishponds.

Go in the morning, before the waves and wind pick up. A long beach to walk, there are loungers close to the Marriott resort. Good for boogie boarding, some snorkeling and swimming. Lots of shade if you get there early. Beautiful sunsets from behind the fish pond looking towards the ocean. Walk down the beach past Lava Lava to spot turtles on the rocks and beach. Many feral and friendly cats live here.

Great black (more like salt and pepper) sand beach within an exclusive gated community of multimillion dollar mansions. A limited number of beach passes are available to the publix each day. Early weekdays are the best time to go.

First of all if you stay at the Fairmont Orchid, there is a shuttle available to take you from the hotel to here and you can call for a shuttle back from any store. This place is just so convenient and they carry a lot of essentials. They also sell lunch boxes we bought a bento with a musubi and fried chicken in it, and a 6.99$ spicy ahi poke bowl here (the poke tasted great by the way). This is a great way to save on lunch or breakfast or if you wake up late brunch! They also carry grocery items and fresh fruits that you can enjoy on your trip.

It's a very peaceful educational walk. Very, very interesting reading the wonderful very old petroglyphs. This area is very easy to get to as its well signed just to the North of the Waikoloa Shell gas station. The pathway is very well maintained so it would be easy for any wheelchair bound person.

Located in the Waikoloa Beach Resort on the beautiful Kohala Coast of Hawaii's Big Island,the Kings' Shops is a collection of luxury and boutique shops including Coach, Louis Vuitton, Macy's, Martin & MacArthur, Tiffany & Co. and Tommy Bahama.

Nice collection of shops including some high end stores. Easy open air walking with a few restaurants as well. There is a gas station also beside the parking lot which is very convenient. From Whalers General Store with just about anything Hawaii and sundries to Tiffany’s Jewelry just like in NYC, it’s nice browsing or shopping.

My husband and I visited Lava Light Gallery our 2nd day in Hawaii. We were in awe of the beautiful images the photographers captured. During our entire trip, my husband and I kept talking about the wonderful images the lava flow created especially after our helicopter tour around the island. Our last day there, we went back and purchased an image from CJ's private selection. What is amazing is their photos go well beyond the art work hanging in the gallery! YOU MUST ask them about the "hidden gems" he has!!! Our beautiful picture arrived less than a week ago. We are so excited to hang it up once our custom lighting is finished! #LoveCJ Thank you for making our first trip to the Big Island a memorable one!
