GREAT FOOD! With a local spin, this super casual "hole in the wall" has unexpected food choices. The chef has created dishes with a local flair. Sit down or take out. Itʻs where the locals go. Try the stuffed salmon with Portuguese sausage....itʻs my favorite! $15.00 average range

Parks & Nature

Gorgeous Bay and relatively calm most of the time but you should use good judgement based on the conditions and your swimming experience and ability. The scenery is unbeatable and the water is clear from the top to the bottom of the ocean floor. Restrooms on site. Take lots of sunscreen and shade cover. Do not leave valuables in your vehicle. Get there early for the best parking options.

Quiet and out of the way. Nice for a family outing. Use your judgement and common sense judgement on swimming conditions. There are no lifeguards at this beach. Take lots of sunscreen and shade cover. Enjoy!

Shopping

If youʻre looking for clothing or souvenirs from Hawaiʻi try Rossʻ Discount Store first before you attempt Walmart, Target or KMart. Better quality and better prices.

Costco......do I need to explain this? One tip: Costco makes Hawaiian poke but their fish is most times previously frozen. If you want fresher poke go to KTA Stores in Kona and Keauhou.

Hawi is a quaint little town with small town shops and places to eat. The best part is the spectacular drive to get there. Driving along the coastline is amazing and take the high road to make the round trip home. You will have to ask where the road is because it isnʻt marked very well but once you are on it, it will take your breath away. At the junction you can choose to come back to Kona or head to Waimea town. I highly recommend the drive for the scenery alone. Hawi Town is a bonus. If you are lucky and are visiting during Whale Season, it is highly likely that you will see the whales breaching off the coast line. SO AWESOME!!

Holualoa is a small, quiet town on the upper road of Kona and is only about 15 minutes away. It has several unique local arts and craftsman shops and places for souvenir shopping. Find a place to park on the street and stroll down main street. Places to eat too!
