Napoopoo

Nāpōʻopoʻo, situated on the west side of the Big Island, offers a glimpse into Hawaii's natural beauty. Although the beach lost its sand due to Hurricane Iniki, Nāpōʻopo‘o Beach Park remains a popular spot for water enthusiasts, with kayaking and snorkeling being favorite activities.

The iconic Captain Cook Monument across Kealakekua Bay is a prominent landmark visible from the beach. For history buffs, the nearby Hikiau Heiau, an ancient Hawaiian temple, offers a glimpse into the island's past. Kealakekua Bay, renowned for its crystal-clear waters, is a must-visit for snorkeling and boat cruises.

While Nāpōʻopoʻo itself doesn't have extensive shopping, nearby towns offer opportunities to explore local crafts and souvenirs. The area's focus is primarily on its natural beauty and outdoor activities.
