Near the Hale Makai Cottages, it's easiest just to walk if you just want to hang out by the beach. Otherwise, you need to rent a car to get around the island.

Best burgers we tasted on the island. Eat upside on covered tabels, friendly staff. One of the places we went to several times.

My wife liked the fish and chips, my sons and I tried several of the burgers—all were very good.
