Kealakekua Bay is located on the west coast of the Big Island, and is just south of Kailua-Kona, roughly 12 miles. It is known to be one of the best snorkeling spots on the Island. On the opposite side of the bay stands the Captain Cook monument. The history behind the monument is that Captain Cook and his crew laded in the Kealakekua Bay in 1779 and were welcomed by the native Hawaiians. However, soon after he died in a conflict that began between the natives and his crew.

Here are some of the best breakfast places I ate at while on the big island, in no particular order. Basik- By far the best acai bowl I have ever had! Located in Kona, and specializing is smoothies and acai bowls. I opted for the Kilauea (acai & house-made hemp milk, topped with strawberries, papaya, granola, goji berries, bee pollen, and honey). Their products are locally grown and delicious. I ordered a small and it was pretty filling. Perfect breakfast before a morning sno
