111. Kealakekua Bay
Situated on the west coast of the island, this is a remote bay especially loved by snorkelers. Scuba divers love this place too. For beneath the shallow, calm surface of the water you can see sea turtles, various tropical fish, and the famous Hawaiian Spinner dolphins.
History buffs have another reason to check out this specific bay. The famous navigator known as Captain James Cook discovered this bay and even spent some time here back in January of 1779. Tensions rose a couple of weeks later and he was murdered here as well. See the large Captain Cook Monument across the bay as well. There’s even a nice picnic pavilion there.
