Fun, sun and relaxation
A young island
The beaches are certainly here
The Big Island (simply “Hawaiʻi”) is geologically young, so there is less sand than people picture on a tropical island. Kona, on the west coast, has much less rain than Hilo on the east. And the beaches are here: white, black and even green sand, and the reef-sheltered coves of Aliʻi Drive three minutes from the house.
