Keauhou Bay, Historic bay along the Kona coast in Hawaii County, United States.
The coastal waters of Keauhou Bay stretch along black lava rocks, forming a natural harbor with direct access to the Pacific Ocean.
King Kamehameha III, born at Keauhou Bay in 1814, became the longest-reigning monarch of Hawaii and established numerous governmental reforms.
The Daughters of Hawaii maintain an enclosure containing the Kauikeaouli stone, marking the birthplace site of the Hawaiian monarch.
Visitors can access the bay through a public boat ramp, where local operators provide equipment rentals for snorkeling and kayaking activities.
According to Hawaiian accounts, King Kamehameha III was initially stillborn at this location but returned to life through a kahuna's sacred chant.
