Puako is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii.

Big Island beaches in general is very inviting because compared to other Hawaiian Islands they are never as overcrowded as the others. No visit to Puako would be complete without spending some time exploring the famous Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park. This park is home to many ancient Hawaiian sites and is a must see for anyone interested in Hawaiian history and culture.

The perfect spot to pick up supplies, grab a quick bite to eat or even stock up on some much needed beach supplies, this is the place to do it. Right next to the Puako Store are the only condos for sale and fee simple ownership in Puako. Imagine having one of these properties for retirement or for vacationing in Hawaii with. Directly across from the front entrance to the store are oceanfront estates in the multi million dollar price point with some that have actually sold for well over the $10 million and $15 million range. Puako is amazing because even though the real estate is priced so high, the residents and those who live here still make it the super laid paid sleepy little village it is. A one of a kind oceanfront gem of an escape. The best little store on the Big Island.
