The little town of Pepeekeo has so much beauty. The beautiful lava coastlines, gorgeous gushing waterfalls, lush countryside, many secret flowing streams, and deep rich forests are what make up of this beautiful place called Pepeekeo. It takes 10-15 minutes to get to Pepeekeo from downtown Hilo. Because of its perfect cool weather, Pepeekeo remains a great place for a summer getaway. Pepeekeo was known for its sugar industry. During the era, the Pepeekeo Sugar Company was one of the biggest producers of sugar cane. Pepeekeo was once a sleepy town but flourished because of the sugar industry.

Many people like to go on the famous scenic drive that is 4-miles long. It meanders through beautiful lush parts of forests, flowing streams, and past little shops. One of the most visited places in Pepeekeo is the Botanical Gardens. My favorite place to go in Pepeekeo is a place called Six Tons. It’s a place where many of tourists like to stop and take pictures with the water fall as a backdrop. I personally like to go and swim there!

For people who haven’t been to Pepeekeo, I advise them to go and fall in love with the area.
