The town is designated Kailua-Kona to differentiate it from the larger, Kailua located on windward O‘ahu, although it is referred to as "Kona" in everyday speech. The heartbeat of Kona is the town of Kailua where stores and restaurants on Ali'i Drive weave among impressive historical landmarks. Kona is home to the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament and Ironman Triathlon World Championship. Ocean activities depart from Kailua Pier, Honokohau Marina and Keauhou Bay. Of the two small beach spots worthy of mention, Kamekahonu Beach in the heart of town and facing a lovely restored Hawaiian temple is good for swimming. There are several nice sand beach locations just beyond Honokohau Marina. Honokohau is a quiet secluded beach popular with nudists and has an interesting ancient Hawaiian temple half submerged in the water. You can walk for almost a mile along the coast here and find natural swimming pools and green turtles.
