In
Kailua-Kona, be sure to visit Mokuaikaua Church, the village's
chief landmark. It was built of lava stone by Congregationalist
missionaries in 1836. You can also tour Hulihee Palace, the
summer home of Hawaii's kings and queens. Built in the style
of an English manor house in 1838, the palace is filled with
the treasures of Hawaiian royalty.
Ahuena Heiau is an important historical site from the days
of King Kamehame; it's near Kamakahonu Beach, a popular swimming
area right in downtown Kailua. To the south, White Sands Beach
County Park (or Magic Sands Beach) is popular for swimming
when the sand is there (the sand disappears when storms come
in) and for whale-watching (November through April/May) when
it isn't. |
