A great little pizza/pasta place in Honoka’a. Best balsamic vinaigrette dressing makes you want to eat a great salad. On some days live music.

Eat a local style breakfast. Get the Portuguese Sweet Bread French Toast, best I’ve ever had! Or the Loco Moco Bowl with sweet onions and Hamakua mushrooms. Yum! Order outside and seat yourself in the dining area or do take out.

This is the location of the April 1, 1946 Tsunami which destroyed my mom’s school. She was 9 years old. It’s now a picturesque spot for sightseeing the coastline with ocean views. Dangerous surf conditions so no swimming please. Have a picnic, use as a rest stop or just stare at the ocean for a few moments.
