Gonna Love It with Lovette, LLC Lifestyle: South Kona is just a short drive from the bustling city life of Kailua Kona, yet its character is very different. Here you’ll enjoy country living in the land of Kings where Captain Cook met his untimely end, and where the illustrious Kona coffee is grown and shipped to connoisseurs around the world. South Kona has good public schools with an easy commute to the private and charter schools of Kalilua Kona. The Keei Cafe appeals to both residents and visitors with its “mountain to sea” menu. For those who don’t want to drive into Kailua Kona, there’s convenient shopping at the Kealakekua Ranch Shopping Center, which includes a Choicemart grocery store, a deli, a garden center, a hardware store and a hair saloon. The Kona Community Hospital in Kealakekua serves the West Hawaii community along with many private practices. Activities: Water sports are legendary in South Kona, the home of the Kealakekua Bay Marine Sanctuary and Ho’okena State Beach Park. The swimming and snorkeling is fantastic and the area is known for teaming pods of friendly dolphins and abundant marine life. Did we mention that the bays and coves dotting shoreline are gorgeous too? And if you don’t want to look at fish, you can also catch them - deep sea fishing is a favorite South Kona pastime. Along the coastline and throughout South Kona you’ll find coffee plantations, excellent hiking, and even a few ranches that offer horseback trail rides. Heritage: South Kona is a land of polynesian Kings and Queens whose word was law and who were laid to rest in secret caves along the coastline. For those who broke the sacred laws the only chance of survival was reaching Pu’uhonua O Honaunau, the Place of Refuge, which is now a National Park honoring Hawaiian culture and heritage. Not far from the Place of Refuge is the Honaunau Rodeo Arena, home for almost 50 years to one of the largest rodeos on the Big Island - the “Kona Stampede”. Whether it’s the rhythms of coastal life, the small town feel of old Hawaii, or the misty mountains of coffee country, South Kona has a lot to offer. Click on District for more info
