If you like quiet time surrounded by flowers and greenery, hang out at Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park in Kalaoa. Why not take a stroll along the beaches and watch the sunset while you're here? Want to stretch your legs some more? Head to Old Kona Airport State Recreation Area and Hulihe‘e Palace State Monument, both nearby.

If you can't wait to get to the beach, you might enjoy a trip to Makalawena Beach located 10.6 mi (17.1 km) from central Kailua-Kona. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Mahai'ula Beach located nearby.
