On Oahu (main metropolitan island):
North Shore - Historic surf breaks, but summer is the off-season, so you might find a good deal on a house. Not sure about grabbing WiFi from the beach, but a hotspot would surely work.
Kailua - Quintessential beach town. Good food, a bit expensive and not necessarily "authentic Hawaii". No waves, but lots of opportunity for kayaking and swimming. You should probably be able to find a spot close to some wifi depending on where you go. A computer on the beach would be pretty typical here.
Waimanalo - This will give you a bit more of a secluded feel, but areas of it can be fairly low income. You would be very out of place working on a computer on the beach here. Hotspot will be necessary here.
Maui (more resorty, less metropolitan)
Paia - Awesome small town off the beaten path. Not sure what kind of wifi you'll get from the beach. Really great small cafes and coffee shops all over maui.
- chasb 13y agoI'll look into Kailua, thank you.
- gonzo 13y agoThere are quasi-legal beach rentals just off Kailua beach.
- joshrotenberg 13y agoI'd second the North Shore of Oahu. We took a family vacation there a few years ago and stayed in Honolulu but we spent a couple days up there (Haleiwa and that area) and it was a fantastic place. I know you'll be "working" and all, but here are a few highlights: http://www.yelp.com/biz/sharks-cove-pupukea http://www.yelp.com/biz/sharks-cove-pupukea http://www.yelp.com/biz/waimea-bay-beach-park-haleiwa http://www.yelp.com/biz/waimea-bay-beach-park-haleiwa http://giovannisshrimptruck.com/ http://giovannisshrimptruck.com/ http://www.yelp.com/biz/laniakea-beach-haleiwa http://www.yelp.com/biz/laniakea-beach-haleiwa
- gonzo 13y agoGood food in Kailua? Where? Buzz's, sure. Where else? (There is free WiFi at Starbucks and Morning Brew in Kailua town, but that's a 3 mile walk from the beach.) Waimanalo: there are sections of the beach where they'll steal your computer. (Though Ewa is worse.) No mention of 'da Big Island', or Kauai, eh?
- EvanKelly 13y agoBreakfast in Kailua is awesome. I'm a Cinnamon's fan myself, but I know a lot of people are Boots and Kimos guys. I really love Kalapawai (both locations) and the morrocan place is a pretty nice spot. Kailuans (?) seem to have a soft spot for Pizza Bob's too. I've sadly (and shamefully) never been to the big island so I couldn't speak to that. I've also only been to Kauai briefly to hike the Na Pali coast. Are you talking about Ewa or just Ewa side? Ewa to me is just a bunch of suburbs and military familys. Heading out to Maile/Nanakuli/Waianae is more similar to some Waimanalo areas.
