Hawaii County, Hawaii
Hawaii County covers the entire Big Island of Hawaii, the largest and youngest island in the Hawaiian archipelago. It’s a place of black sand beaches and lush rainforests. Snow-capped mountains rise above barren lava fields.
The county seat, Hilo, sits on the rainy east side, while Kailua-Kona basks in the sunny west. Volcanoes shape the landscape here. Mauna Kea, the world’s tallest mountain from base to peak, offers world-class stargazing. Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes on Earth, has been erupting on and off for centuries.
Locals embrace a laid-back lifestyle, savoring fresh seafood and tropical fruits. Tourists come to the island for its natural wonders and outdoor adventures. From snorkeling with manta rays to hiking through volcanic craters, Hawaii County never fails to amaze.
