2.7mi from Hawi · 1 site · Lodging · Waimea, HI

James Cottage is a historic plantation home on a private ranch on Hawaii Island just 2 miles south of Hawi town. You need a car to get to us from Kona Airport. The cottage has a kitchenette and a private bathhouse, washer/dryer and a private hot tub. There is a swimming pool for all of our guests to enjoy just a short walk from your cottage.

2. Hāpuna Beach State Recreation Area

4 sites · Puako, Hawaii

It’s no secret—Hawaii’s Big Island is pretty darn beautiful. And Hāpuna Beach State Recreation Area is no exception, too. With towering palms, lush greenery and—of course—the beautiful blue Pacific Ocean, you might just literally gasp in awe when you drive up to Hāpuna. A sandy trail offers hiking along the coast with stunning ocean views, but besides that, swimming, picnicking, and good ol’ fashioned relaxing are some of the park’s most popular activities. Itching to spend the night at this beautiful spot? Hāpuna has got you covered with a selection of A-frame shelters to rest your head at after a long day of… well… relaxing!

Kīholo State Park Reserve

3. Kīholo State Park Reserve

8 sites · Kalaoa, Hawaii

A lava-covered coastal park, Kīholo State Park Reserve features small bays, sparsely vegetated coastline, historic lava flows, and plenty of wide open space to roam. If you’ve never visited a black sand beach, you’ll have the chance to see it here, pressed up and contrasting against lush palm trees and shoreline. It’s a pretty decent spot for snorkeling too. While the park is still undergoing conceptual planning for future public use, visitors are able to visit during the day. Overnight camping is offered in a more remote area. Please be prepared with your own drinking water. Dehydration is so not a good look for you.
