Cavort Along the Kohala Coast

Sneaking away from the main thoroughfare is a common fantasy – one that most people never allow themselves to actually live out. You don’t have to be rich or famous to experience a vacation characterized by seclusion, comfort and plenty of Hawaiian-themed details (mai tais, sunsets, volcanic hikes, etc…), so pick a place like the Kohala Coast and experience the benefits of venturing from the path of convention.

After settling into your comfy vacation home located in a quiet neighborhood and in command of a spectacular view of all the good stuff (the stars, the mountains, and maybe the occasional passing whale), you’ll find yourself drawn in a hundred different directions. Hilo is one way, Kailua Kona another; golf courses, restaurants and some of the Big Island’s best beaches are scattered along this top-notch stretch of coastline. Hapuna Beach attracts people from all over the island with its white sands, easy accessibility and charmed combination of fine weather, blue skies and bathtub-warm water.

Everything is just a few skips away from your cottage, including handfuls of impressive historic sites and more public beaches. Temples and petroglyph fields (ancient rock carvings) preserve the serious side of this destination, while plenty of shops and modern amenities secure Hawaii’s uncanny ability to keep you consistently and completely engaged in the idyllic surroundings.

Kohala Coast encompasses the best of the Big Island and allows for as much calm and solitude as you need, so picture yourself taking advantage of all that is offered here and then, for once, make it happen.
