#LifeAtExpedia Breezy A-Bay on Big Island Recent Kilauea Volcano eruption has severely hit tourist traffic to the entire Big Island, despite the fact the dangerous lava flows impact less than a low single digit percent of total surface area of island. Diametrically across from the eruption site in SE corner of Big Island is the VERY SAFE Anaeho'omalu Beach, or A-Bay, near the popular Waikaloa. What I recall most distinctly is the granular 4 color sand I'd never seen before on a beach. I wish I could bring it back bags of it for landscaping :) A-Bay was a chance pit-stop I made, driving up Kohala Coast to Waipio Valley from Kona, the most well known city on Big Island's West Coast, with an international airport. A-Bay is a place of unparalleled tranquility, a perfect long crescent shape, and salt and pepper sand. Long rows of palm trees make A-Bay one of the premier places to photograph a Big Island sunset. Ideal for Kite-surfing, paddle boarding or just lounging and taking a walk on the beach, which is what I did.
