Keauhou is Kailua-Kona’s more tranquil cousin located to its south. Manta rays and the occasional dolphin swim by its languid shores. Nearby, Kealakekua Bay is home to a marine preserve where coral and fish thrive. The bay is popular with snorkelers, divers, and kayakers. Capt. James Cook, the first European to reach present-day Hawaii, was killed during a skirmish in this bay in 1779.
