Hilton Waikoloa Village


Waikoloa Beach is an area located on the South Kohala coast on the island of Hawaii and is located in the census-designated place of Puako. It can be confused for Waikoloa Village, a CDP in the same "ahupuaʻa" and is also known as "Waikoloa".

The area is home to many notable cultural and geologic features of the ancient Hawaiian culture including aquaculture fishponds, anchialine ponds and petroglyphs.

Ala Kahakai or “trail by the sea” is the name for the ancient pathway that runs along the coastline in the Waikoloa area that linked important entities in the Hawaiian culture including communities, temples, fishing areas, etc. The Ala Kahakai, estimated to be 175 miles (282 km) long, is commonly called “King’s Trail".

ʻAnaehoʻomalu Bay, also known as A-Bay, is a palm fringed beach, shallow water bay located on the South Kohala coast on the island of Hawaii.ʻAnaehoʻomalu is best known for its sunsets, snorkeling and historic royal fishponds. The nearest town is Waikaloa Village, which used to be owned by Parker Ranch. The property just North of the beach and fishponds are owned and operated by Outrigger Hotels & Resorts. The area is part of the Waikoloa Beach Resort, and the beach is sometimes called Waikoloa Beach (although another beach with this name is on Maui island.)

It is the location of the Lavaman Triathlon, one of the qualifying events for the Ironman Triathlon World Championships. Also there is a water sport shop to rent snorkeling equipment & tours, a glass bottom boat, paddle boards,kayaks, and hydro bikes. It is also the home of the waikola canoe club.
