Where to eat Surt's at Volcano Village After exploring nearby Volcanoes National Park, wise travelers know to make time for this eclectic eatery, where Franco-Asian cuisine and laid-back island style meet head-on. Traditional Thai dishes with Continental flair dominate the menu, which includes curries and seafood-stuffed ravioli. Add a selection from the wine list, which boasts a good sampling of local labels, and a delicious meal is made complete. Refined yet cozy and friendly, Surt's offers a true island experience that guests won't soon forget. Reservations are suggested. ---------- Kilauea Restaurant Whetting appetites in the Big Island's "warm" Volcano community, Kilauea has garnered quite a reputation with locals and tourists alike. The cozy, lodge-like setting seems to step right out of the pages of a Western adventure novel - stone fireplace, vaulted wood-beamed ceiling, koa wood furniture, and rustic hardwood floors. The menu sports a bit of a Continental theme, and featured dishes range from duck à l'orange to lamb Provençal with papaya mint sauce to Parker Ranch prime rib au jus with whipped horseradish. Reservations are suggested. ---------- Best Beaches! Punalu'u Wedged between the Kau Desert and Ka Lae (the South Cape), this exquisite black sand beach is one of the Big Island's most beautiful. Although facilities are scarce, you'll likely find ample privacy since few visitors make it this far south, save an occasional sea turtle. Freshwater springs, which bubble up from the cove's floor, chill the water somewhat, making it all the more refreshing during summer months. An interesting trivia tidbit: local legend has it that the northern and southern tips of the cove were once the sites of sacrificial stones.
