Aliʻi Drive (Historic Kailua Village)
Aliʻi Drive
The main street of Kailua, running along the coast. Restaurants, bars, souvenir shops and an oceanfront walkway line it, and it is the finish line of the Ironman triathlon.
Aliʻi Drive runs south along the coast for about 8 kilometres from Kailua Pier. The northern section is the core of old Kailua town. Huliheʻe Palace, Mokuʻaikaua Church, the Kona Inn Shopping Village and many oceanfront restaurants are all within walking distance. Watching the sunset and eating fish tacos with a shave ice is a classic plan. Every October, the Ironman World Championship starts and finishes here. A small farmers market is held from Wednesday to Sunday. Parking in the town centre is tight, so public car parks are a good option.
