First, and maybe surprisingly, homes that are walking distance to the beach (up to about 1/2 mile) do not cost much, if at all, more than homes in Kona that would require driving to the beach.

Beaches Of Kona Video Tour - Kua Bay

Kua Bay is one of my favorite Kona Beaches. Located in the Kehaka  Kai State Park, in a spectacular setting, Kua Bay is about 10 miles North of Kailua-Kona off of Hwy 11 between mile markers 88 and 89 and surrounded by lava fields. The powdery white sand is soft on the feet and the water is warm, clear and perfect for a refreshing swim.  Weekends can be a little crowded but during the week you can almost have the place all to yourself.  Bring your mask and fins to snorkel around the … (2 comments)
