Waikiki's best beach cafe is just south of the sand at Queen's Beach. Order at the window and grab a shady table close to the water and tuck into island-accented breakfasts, snacks and lunches. The kitchen shows great attention to details, whether it's eggs Benedict, garlic fries or a plate lunch. There's live music nightly (5:30pm).
Shave ice and smoothies are cooling treats for those on a stroll or lounging on the shore. Extras include free container refills with fruit-accented water.
