Kevin's Activity Tips:

If you are spending a week at one of the Kohala resorts, we highly recommend that you include a day at Anaeho-omalu Bay in your itinerary. We recently stayed at the Hilton Waikoloa, which is a full-featured resort nearby, sort of the "Disneyland" of Hawaii hotels. There's lots to see and do without leaving the resort, but they don't have a NATURAL beach; their beach is an artifically created salt water lagoon which has a huge man-made waterfall. Hawaii's greatest attraction is it's amazing natural beauty, and we much prefer natural beaches to ones created by bulldozers!

Anaeho'omalu Bay (locals call it A-bay) is a beautiful sandy beach just a mile away from the Hilton; the closest resort is the Waikoloa Marriott. Fortunately in Hawaii ALL beaches in the state are PUBLIC … even the ones with exclusive $10 million dollar homes are required to allow public access. A-bay's sandy beach is perfect for launching kayaks, and catamarans can pull right up to the shore for your snorkel tour to exotic black sand beaches.
