What Packs Best for the Sand
Musubi is the original Hawaii beach food: rice, Spam and nori in a block that doesn't fall apart. Boba cans are sealed at the counter, so they don't leak in a bag. Mochi donuts ride well in a box for an hour or two. Corn dogs and malasadas are at their best in the first few minutes — eat them on the walk down Kalākaua and save the sand for the musubi.
