Big Island Vacation Guide 2009 - (Page 28) Kailua-Kona Boats leaving the harbor to start the annual Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament, Kailua Bay, Kona Coast. Kirk Lee Aeder To Waimea In the middle of the Kona District and a short few miles south of the Kona International Airport lies the seaside town of Kailua-Kona. The town is still a fishing village—as it’s been for centuries— except now the catch is more likely to be a record marlin or an ocean view table at a popular eatery. Visit Hulihe‘e Palace, a former vacation residence for Hawaiian royalty, and view the collection of Hawaiian memorabilia, furniture and artifacts. Across the street from Hulihe‘e Palace is Moku‘aikaua Church, the oldest Christian church in Hawai‘i. Tap into Kona Brewing Company’s handcrafted ales. This Kailua-Kona brewpub also offers brewery tours during the week. The Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament, held each summer, celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2009 and brings the world’s top sport anglers to Kona’s legendary waters.
