This place is right on the road to Hana (which we did twice) and is great for getting an early start. It is also well situated for all things north shore (big surf, wind surfing (not for beginners!) etc.). The beach which you can walk to is the beach for Mama’s Fish House and is a scenic cove, great for watching sea turtles and tourists dressed up and taking pictures before/after Mama’s. Though we could hear road noise, it wasn’t bothersome - the north shore winds and ac created good white noise to allow for sleeping.
