Hōlualoa Bay is a historic area between Kailua-Kona and Keauhou Bay in the Kona District of the Big Island of Hawaii. The community now called Hōlualoa is uphill (mauka in the Hawaiian Language) from this bay. The name means "long slide" in the Hawaiian Language, from the long trail that went from a forest on the slopes of Hualālai (where the village is now), to a site where the logs were made into canoes (on the grounds of Sadie Seymour Botanical Gardens) into this bay where a large royal building complex was built over several centuries. History Keakealaniwahine, one of the first known Alii Aimoku wahine ("Queens") of the entire island of Hawaii, built a large complex of buildings here in the seventeenth century, with the area settled several hundred years before that. The royal complex included residential areas, as well as Heiaus (ancient temples) called Hikapaia (for plentiful food and fish) and Hualani (for teaching about medicinal herbs), and burial areas. Keakamahana, the mother of Keakealaniwahine, was the first named royalty to live here. This area (uphill or mauka of Alii drive) was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 8, 2005, as the Holualoa 4 Archeological District with site number 05000542. It is State Archeological site number 50-10-37-23.661. The Kamoa Point Complex, the area West of Alii drive on the south side of the bay, included a temple for surfers, called the Haleaama Heiau, and a large ancient sports complex named after chiefess Keolonāhihi, thought to have lived circa 1300. Here warriers could practice their skills. Some legends say Keolonāhihi was the daughter of Paao, the (perhaps mythical) priest who brought the Hawaiian Religion from a distant land. It was added to over the years, including a terraced grandstand to watch surfing contests. Kamehameha I, the great-great grandson of Keakealaniwahine, probably learned to surf here in his youth. When he came to power he lived further north in Kamakahonu but continued to maintain a temple here called Hale O Kaili to the war god Kūkailimoku. Although this Hōlualoa was for the practical purpose of building canoes, sliding down the lava rock evolved into a favorite sport of the upper class called hee hōlua. Kamehameha constructed a large ramp purely for the sport a few miles further south known as the Keauhou Holua Slide, some of which is preserved. The complex on the point was originally
