If you live in Hawaii Kai, you already know all the reasons there are to love about this marina front community. But, in case you aren’t familiar with this community, here are just a few reasons to fall in love:
1. The Great Lawn
You know you are in Hawaii Kai when you see the Great Lawn. An expanse of green lawn sprinkled with palm trees is a signature piece of our community. The Great Lawn provides a warm welcome when you enter our community.
2. Maunalua Bay
The Bay is located across the Great Lawn and is a favorite among canoe paddlers, boaters, kayakers, fishermen, and picnickers. It’s also a great place to watch sunsets.
3. Hawaii Kai Farmlands
Did you know there are farms in Hawaii Kai? Kamilo Nui Valley contains agricultural lands, and our farmers are a mainstay in our community. “Take care of the land, and the land will take care of you.”
4. Sandy Beach
If you are into bodyboarding or bodysurfing, this is the place to be. Be careful, though, as the waves can be treacherous. Even if you don’t go in the water, you’ll enjoy watching some amazing water wave-riders and the scenic view.
5. Shopping and Dining
Both the Hawaii Kai Towne Center and the Koko Marina Center offer an array of restaurants, shops, and businesses. Assagio’s, Moena Cafe, Fatboy’s, Kona Brewery, Scratch, and Maile’s Thai Bistro are just a few of the favorite restaurants among residents. There is also Safeway and Costco. You’ll love the convenience and the variety.
6. Kaiser High School
Are you a football fan? The community comes out in force to watch the Cougars play. Kaiser is one of the best public high schools in the state and test scores are consistently high. Our football team ranks pretty high, too.
