Kailua-Kona, Census-designated place in Hawaii County, United States.
Kailua-Kona extends along the western coast of Hawaii Island, featuring black lava rock shores and a mountain backdrop at Mount Hualalai's base.
The area served as the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom under King Kamehameha I in the early 19th century before the seat moved to Honolulu.
The Hulihee Palace, constructed in 1837, displays Hawaiian artifacts, traditional furniture, and royal family memorabilia in its museum collection.
Travelers arrive through Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport, with accommodations spread across the waterfront area near restaurants and shops.
Local coffee farms on the mountain slopes produce Kona coffee between 1,000 and 2,000 feet elevation, offering tours of their cultivation methods.
