There is easy access off Highway 19, with no steep, confusing, dirt backroads, which is common on the island. Take a walk around the quiet neighborhood and enjoy the ocean view. There is the local Papa'aloa country grocery store with both take out and sit in meals served along with evening entertainment literally a couple of minutes down the road, along with the Minit Stop convenience store and gas station, the only food and gas available between Honokaa and Hilo. The town's public outdoor pool is also only minutes away. Easy access from Highway 19. Take highway 19 from either the Kona or Hilo airports driving north.
