Located in Waikoloa, “A Bay” as locals call it, was reserved for Hawaiian Royalty for centuries. A Bay consists of a protected cove, golden sand, and natural fresh water ponds. This tranquil bay lies on the King’s trail, which is an ancient footpath that wraps around the entire island and was used by the King’s messenger as the main transportation path. You can still see petroglyphs on the path which recorded spiritual and historical events. The bay is a great place to swim, sun bathe, and participate in the many activities on the beach.
