    "The outdoor seating right on the ocean was spectacular, the service was amazing and the food was excellent."
    Kailua-Kona
    5.8km from downtown
    Highlights: This is a famous surfing resort in Hawaii, where many surfers gather. The sand on the famous Waikiki Beach is actually transported by hand, and the sand here is naturally formed and very soft. This is also the only fine white sand beach in the Kailua-Kona area. When the storm comes, it will wash away the white sand on the shore, so it is also called "the lost beach". The waves here are big, so if you're not watery, pay more attention to safety.
