Eskimo Candy
Casual and cheeky, Eskimo Candy in nearby Kihei is a spot you’ll want to try for lunch. It’s always hard to find affordable options when you’re on vacation and, conveniently, this fish market offers the best and freshest seafood. It’s open only on weekdays and takeout is available, good for a nearby picnic or on-site (they offer wraps and salads). Popular picks here are the fish and chips and the clam chowder.
Capische
Visitors want a dining experience much like the treasured souvenir they take home. Good food, a restaurant that provides a changing menu with signature dishes, intimate settings, locally-owned serving local food and a great view are amenities that place a restaurant on top of the list. Capische at the Hotel Wailea is a favorite among locals and guests. Tables are limited, so reservations are strongly suggested to avoid disappointment, but once you’ve got a table, take in the great view, enjoy dining garden-side and try the ever-popular mushroom risotto. Great place for a romantic evening, but children’s menu available for family dining.
Best beach lists are always a unique challenge. The best beaches in Kona are known for legendary landscapes and views, the journey to get to them, the water sports and the sheer frivolity of lazing in the sand.
