Sunset at Anaeho omalu beach...
Waikoloa Beach Resort #Adventure
#LifeAtExpedia Breezy A-Bay on Big Island Recent Kilauea Volcano eruption has severely hit tourist traffic to the entire Big Island, despite the fact the dangerous lava flows impact less than a low single digit percent of total surface area of island. Diametrically across from the eruption site in SE corner of Big Island is the VERY SAFE Anaeho'omalu Beach, or A-Bay, near the popular Waikaloa. What I recall most distinctly is the granular 4 color sand I'd never seen before on a beach. I wish I could bring it back bags of it for landscaping :) A-Bay was a chance pit-stop I made, driving up Kohala Coast to Waipio Valley from Kona, the most well known city on Big Island's West Coast, with an international airport. A-Bay is a place of unparalleled tranquility, a perfect long crescent shape, and salt and pepper sand. Long rows of palm trees make A-Bay one of the premier places to photograph a Big Island sunset. Ideal for Kite-surfing, paddle boarding or just lounging and taking a walk on the beach, which is what I did.
Waikoloa Beach Resort #Adventure
A great golf course! Play north or south, you will see endless beauty of ocean and stop by on 16 to take a peak at colourful fish and turtles. #hawaii

Everything you need in one spot. The lagoon on this property is awesome. It has turtles, rays, fish and more coming in from the ocean that hang out while you play in the water. There were shops on the property, but more affordable shops and restaurants down the street, so rent a car if you plan to ...
