Sleeping Turtle Sanctuary
Located at 40 Puako Beach Drive in the heart of magical Puako, the only non-
gated/resort beach-front community on the Kohala (West) Coast of the Big
Island. This is truly an Old Hawaiian Beach Town which feels far from the
resorts and tourists, but is an easy drive to world class restaurants, hotels,
beaches, golf courses, and conveniences (Kona Airport is only 30 minutes
away, Waimea – 15 minutes away.)
The Green Sea Turtles call Puako home and are seen daily in front of the
house. In the winter months the humpback whales come amazingly close to
shore in Puako with their new offspring. The ocean access in front of the
house is the easiest in Puako to launch kayaks, go scuba diving, snorkeling
or just play in the waves. Most locals consider Puako the best scuba diving
and snorkeling on the Big Island. In the winter months swells make the beach
park at the end of the road a fine surf and boogie board spot. 5 minutes
away is Hapuna Beach a spectacular white sand beach…but you probably
won’t find much reason to leave the house.
