Fodor's Review:

King Kamehameha spent his last years, from 1812 to 1819, near what is now King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel. Part of what was once a 4-acre homestead complete with several houses and religious sites has been swallowed by Kailua Pier, but a replica of the temple, Ahuena Heiau, keeps history alive. Free tours start from King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel. Small but pleasant King Kamehameha Beach is a great place to lie in the sun and take an easy swim after the tour.
