Thanks in advance!
Waking up early for a beautiful sunrise near Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Big Island is a great way to start your day! The area offers several scenic spots that are perfect for enjoying the sunrise, with minimal effort required. Here are a few options that are relatively close to your hotel:
- Anaehoomalu Bay (A-Bay) - This beach is just a short drive from the Hilton Waikoloa Village and is one of the best places for a tranquil sunrise. The view of the sun rising over the ocean is stunning, and the beach is peaceful in the early morning. If you walk to the right side of the bay, you can enjoy unobstructed views of the sunrise.
- Mauna Lani Beach - About a 10-minute drive from Hilton Waikoloa, Mauna Lani Beach offers a more serene experience for sunrise watchers. The area is quieter and less crowded, and you’ll have a great view of the sunrise with beautiful volcanic landscape in the background.
- Kohala Coast Lookout - If you're up for a short drive (about 20-25 minutes from Hilton Waikoloa), head north along the coast to the Kohala Coast Lookout. This spot provides panoramic views of the ocean and is perfect for an early morning sunrise viewing. It's a bit more elevated, which allows for stunning views of both the coastline and the sun coming up over the Pacific.
- Hapuna Beach State Park - While it's a little further (about a 15-20 minute drive), Hapuna Beach is known for its beautiful sunrise views. The beach is expansive, and you can find a peaceful spot to watch the sun rise over the calm waters. It’s worth it if you want to experience a wide, open beach at dawn.
Since your conference starts at 8 AM, these spots are all close enough to the Hilton Waikoloa to make a quick and memorable sunrise outing before heading to your event. Whether you want the convenience of being right by your hotel or are willing to drive a bit for a quieter, more secluded experience, any of these locations will offer you a beautiful start to the day. Enjoy your time on the Big Island!
