Puako Beach Drive stretches for three scenic miles along stunning Puako Bay. Puako is one of the most sought-after oceanfront neighborhoods on the Big Island in South Kohala. Once a small fishing village, Puako has transformed into a laid-back beachfront community with incredible appeal. The 3.5-mile shoreline of Puako Beach offers incredible tide pools to explore, waves to surf, and more than enough quiet privacy to fish the day away. Nearby Kamuela, or Waimea, is the perfect mix of modern amenities and old Hawaii historical charm. Small and scenic, it is brimming with restaurants, museums, and boutiques to explore. Though safely removed from the hustle and bustle, Puako is a stone’s throw from some of Hawaii’s legendary golf courses. Tee off within twenty minutes at the amazing courses in Mauna Lani Resort, Waikoloa Resort, or Mauna Kea Resort, or enjoy other recreation options including tennis, yoga, spa treatments, shopping, ocean sports, and more.
