Mahukona

Mahukona, a historic settlement on Hawaii's Big Island, offers a glimpse into the island's past. Once a bustling harbor for sugarcane transportation, Mahukona's importance has faded over time.

Just south of Mahukona, the Lapakahi State Historical Park preserves ancient Hawaiian cultural sites and offers educational trails. The Mahukona Beach Park, though not a traditional beach, provides opportunities for snorkeling and exploring the underwater remains of the former shipping port.

For shopping and dining, venture to nearby areas for a wider selection of options. Kohala Grown Market & Deli offers locally sourced groceries, fresh produce, and natural body care products. Alternatively, explore unique gifts and local products at Aloha Man. To experience the local nightlife, consider joining Sione A Vakauta's bar, club, and pub tours or enjoying the vibrant atmosphere at the Blue Dragon Restaurant & Musiquarium.
