Default Where is the best location to live on the Big Island?
Hi Everyone,

I'm planning to take a one month work/vacation to write.

Where should I stay on the Big Island?

Hilo? Or Kona?

I'm at a loss.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Depends on what you want. Kona is hot and dry. Great for hanging out at the beach.

Hilo is rainy with trade winds. Lush tropical jungle and a mellow laid back atmosphere.

Other nice spots are Waimea, Pahala, Honokaa.

My favorite spot I lived on the Big Island was Waimea. I find most of the island a little too steamy for me and liked the cooler climate. Hapuna is right down the hill and Kona is a pretty easy drive. When we moved back this last time, I wanted to live in Kona Palisades but my partner was set on Hilo so Hilo it was. He loves rain.
