South Kona
Major towns of South Kona
Agriculture is the passion of this district on the slopes of Mauna Loa, where Kona coffee responds best to the localized climate and mineral rich rocky soils and joins with ranching, boutique herb, vegetable and flower farms, macadamia nut orchards and avocado exotic fruit plantings to delight the eco tourist. Harvest in the upland ‘coffee belt’ generates a popular international Kona Coffee Cultural Festival each November.
Down along the rocky shoreline are many interesting historic sites, including the beautiful Honaunau National Park and Kealakekua Bay, where British explorer Captain James Cook first landed in Hawaii.
The rural settings of South Kona’s small communities, along the highway heading to Volcano, offer farm, estate and retreat properties away from the bustle of resort life.
