Hawaii

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii Island

Coffee country on the sunny side of the Big Island.

Kailua-Kona is on the dry western coast of the island of Hawaii, often called the Big Island. Ships anchor in the bay and tender guests to the pier in the middle of town. The slopes above grow Kona coffee, and the coast to the south holds Kealakekua Bay, where Captain James Cook was killed in 1779.
