Dining

Open Late

The coast quiets down early. When your flight lands late or the night is not over yet, these are the doors still open.

This is a quiet stretch of coast after dark, which is most of its charm and occasionally its inconvenience. If you are coming off a late flight or looking for one more round, Lava Lava keeps its beach bar going down at A-Bay, Kuleana Rum Shack pours late at Kings' Shops, and Blue Dragon runs its music nights up in Kawaihae. For a late grocery run, Foodland and Island Gourmet stay open into the evening. Hours shift with the season, so call ahead when it matters.

    A sports bar at Kings' Shops with a kitchen and full bar that keep going until midnight, one of the last doors open on this stretch.
