Kamakahonu Review
After uniting the islands of Hawaii, King Kamehameha I spent his last years, from 1812 to 1819, in Kamakahonu, near what is now the Courtyard King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel. Formerly a 4-acre homestead, complete with several houses and religious sites, most of it has been swallowed by Kailua Pier. A replica of the temple, Ahuena Heiau, keeps history and culture alive.
