Makalawena / Pu'u Ali'i Bay, Kailua Kona

I cannot even BEGIN to explain how remote and beautiful this beach is. It took me almost a whole day of asking where it was and the best way to get there and many locals didn't even know. At first when I ventured out to get there I reached a beautiful beach and I assumed it was Makalawena. After a couple hours of relaxing, I noticed people hiking past where I was through these trees and bushes so I decided to follow. After about 30 minutes we finally reached Makalawena and I just sat there and stared at its beauty. The sand was the whitest I had ever seen and the water was crystal blue. I went snorkling about 6 ft from the shore where I saw the most beautiful fish and turtles. I spent all day and I could have spent all year there. There are no bathrooms or food so come prepared and I guarantee it will be an experience you will not forget.
