Food scene

Great burgers and tacos, casual atmosphere. Also has a delicious pineapple smoothie for a sweet treat! Google or call ahead because in the winter they often close early.

Beaches

Right down the street is Spencer Park about a 5 minute drive. It’s small but quaint and nice to relax and take a dip. It also has good shade and an area to barbeque. It is rocky after about 6 feet so beware of the vana (anenomes) on the rocks, they can leave you with a good sting.

Known as being one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. To get a visitor spot, since you are not a hotel guest, you need to arrive by at least 10 am for the public parking spot. Go to the Mauna Kea entrance, check-in and continue to go left until you find guest parking. It’s a little of a walk and always super sunny, so pack light and bring the umbrella.

Hapuna is also considered one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. If you rented a car, you will need to pay $5 to park, unless you park outside and walk in. Again, not a huge amount of shade, so bring the umbrella. Hapuna can be great for boogie boarding, but beware, Hapuna is known for having a hard and fast surf break.

If you take the turn off for Hapuna and instead of turning into Hapuna on the right, you continue and go straight, you will come to Beach 69. If you park inside the parking area with a rental car, it is again $5. It is small and quaint with lots of shade. On a calm day it has great snorkeling

Showing Respect of the Beautiful Islands

We love the Big Island and we hope you do too. To keep it beautiful the state of Hawaii asks for common sense items. 1) Stay at least 20 feet away for the honu (turtles) 2) Clean up your trash always, but especially when at the beach 3) Be respectful of the culture and and honor the signs you see posted. Hawaiians have a rich culture and as tourists we always try to respect it.
