Placed on the rush and tropical South Kona coast, Kealakekua Bay is house to an amazing coral reef.
The bay is house to one of the top snorkelling spots in the full state of Hawaii.
The nearby tropical and lush region is also a best historical significance, as it grips many historical and archaeological places.
Stand-Up Paddleboarding/SUP on the Island of Hawaii
The area definitely values a visit.
Here are some of the best things to do:
Kealakekua Bay
Kealakekua bay is a piece of paradise, both on land and underwater.
The bay hosts one of the perfect coral reefs on the island and is placed on the lush and tropical Kona coast.
The heart of the bay is deep, and you can generally find a pod of spinner dolphins that use the bay as resting grounds.
The full area is rich in history and spans both a marine life conservation area and a state historical park.

Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park
The park spans the shoreline of almost all of Kealakekua bay. The most accessible part is on the north-eastern edge of the bay where you can find poopoo Beach Park with a parking place, restrooms, picnic pavilion, showers and a water fountain.
The little beach in the park next to the pavilion is famous as Napo opo beach and was stripped of its sand by hurricane Iniki.
It now consists of a set of rocks, while not remarkable for hanging out, it is reasonable for a fast swim and best place for SUP board surfing.
You can also find the Hikiau Heiau in this park.
This Heiau is a well-deserved ancient temple in the park dedicated to the Hawaiian god Lono, but with a dark history, it was built as a pace of human sacrifice.
