A Vibrant Atmosphere With Volcanic History Backs Big Island Hawaii Real Estate
The Big Island is known for its extensive black lava fields, but don’t worry – the miles of lava flow are from an eruption long ago, and not all of the island’s terrain is defined by volcanic remnants. Lush, green regions, such as the Kona-Kohala Coast, highlight the topography and provide areas of oasis where the best Big Island Hawaii real estate can be found.
And though they contrast with the tranquil emerald gorges, lucid waterfalls and sundrenched shores, the black lava fields and the active Kilauea Volcano are characterized by a beauty that’s all their own. Not only do these natural wonders provide a breathtaking backdrop to The Big Island experience, they also add historic and cultural depth to the region. Many of the black lava fields, stretching from mountain to sea, were caused by the last eruptions of Mt. Hualalai, which occurred in 1800 and 1801. To see current lava activity, visit the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and catch a sunset showing of illuminated lava spilling into the ocean.
During your drive from Kona International Airport to the Kohala resort communities, you’ll notice that lava fields along Highway 19 have been decorated with drawings, messages, and romantic declarations that locals and tourists alike have created with bits of white coral that’s regularly washed in by the Pacific. The designs are ephemeral, but have been used to proclaim lasting love. Legend has it that certain couples will come to the same lava field location every year to commemorate their anniversaries with white coral creations.
