Easy breezy Sunday, with plenty of room to roam

Keauhou, HI · March 29, 2026

Happy Sunday — the trades are behaving, the ocean’s calling, and there’s still time to decide whether today skews more “projects” or “pau hana.”

Whale count wraps, numbers shared

The Sanctuary Ocean Count wrapped up its 2026 season yesterday, with volunteers on Hawaiʻi Island logging dozens of humpback whale sightings from shoreline lookouts. Boat traffic and beachgoers are asked to keep giving the remaining koholā extra space as they head north.

High 81°F · Low 69°F
- Light trades, mostly sunny with a few mauka clouds in the afternoon. Good day for keiki at the beach or a late paddle; still bring water and sun protection, because that UV does not take Sundays off.

Sunday Golf at Kona Country Club Kona Country Club, 78-7000 Aliʻi Dr Morning–late afternoon tee times Fairways above Keauhou Bay stay breezy and scenic — an easy choice if you want a low-key round with ocean views instead of errands.
Keauhou: Sunset at the Lānai Outrigger Kona Resort & Spa, 78-128 ʻEhukai St Around 5:30–7:00 PM Grab a drink, find a railing spot, and watch the sun drop behind the ocean cliffs; it’s one of the easier ways to remind yourself why you live here.
Kailua-Kona: Evening Stroll on Aliʻi Aliʻi Drive, from the pier south through the village Anytime after 5:00 PM A mellow Sunday walk with shave ice, casual eats, and sunset colors; traffic eases and the waterfront shifts into that “last-day-of-the-weekend” pace.

The Big Island Market at Outrigger Kona Twice a week, the lānai at Outrigger Kona turns into The Big Island Market, a small but mighty lineup of local makers and growers a few minutes from most Keauhou driveways. Beyond the usual produce and baked treats, vendors rotate in things like hand-dyed pareos, locally blended skincare, and small-batch hot sauces. It’s one of the easiest spots to restock the fridge and still walk away with something you didn’t know you needed.
