Magic Island Petroleum

This is your charming neighborhood hangout with no fussy. It’s a hidden gem. Crockpot meals at inexpensive price. I love the chicken florentine.

We needed ethanol-​free gas… and there are only a handful of places that sell it. I had ulterior motives… II wanted to go to the Heeia Kea pier so we could try out the new eatery, but we were at Ala Moana so we decided to try finding Magic Island Petroleum. I’m glad we did.
It was easy to find! It’s in the large public parking area behind Prince Hotel and Ilikai where all the surfers park. Just follow the main road all the way to the end of the harbor then when you’re at the last jetty, turn right on the second to the last road. It’s a one way loop and if you turn right on the last road you’ll be going in the wrong direction. At the end is Magic Island Petroleum. They have a small parking lot of their own with 5(?) stalls.
Don’t let the name of the place fool you. There’s only 1 fuel pump:
I was surprised to see an outdoor area that looked like someone’s back yard.
The store has everything you need… laundromat, sundries, and a small deli. It’s the atmosphere of the place that got me. It’s laid back away from the hustle and bustle. It’s a nice place to eat and relax, and watch the paddlers and the boats go by.

So if you find yourself at the Ala Wai boat harbor and need a cool little off the beaten path place to sit down, relax and have lunch in the midst of busy Waikiki, or to just grab a snack, try the «Fuel Dock».
I’m down at the Ala Wai quite a bit and swing by here often to grab a made to order sandwich or there crock pot special of the day, which can be fairly good (my girlfriend loves the meatballs over rice plate).
This is a no frills little fuel dock /​convenience store /​Deli with a small selection of hot items.
The owners are super friendly and after you’ve got your food you can enjoy it out on their patio where they have a nice little landscaped area (for a gas station) with some picnic tables set up with umbrellas over looking the harbor and Magic Island.
The fuel dock is all the way at the end of the last set of docks you can drive down, can’t miss it. There are a few parking spots inside or park just out side the gates.
Enjoy…
TIPS: Parking spots are available inside the fence /​They do breakfast too /​Wifi is available

Off the beaten path, in a good way.
Curtis and his food is reason one to come here for a quick meal. A nice little seating area has charm (think Shell gas station meets Florida Keys bar). 4 washers and 6 dryers @$ 2 a shot in case you need to wash your vacation duds while browsin’ the web or scarfing down a bowl of chili.
The address listed is the official one, but in reality the place is located on the the tip of that second jetty you see on the map. Just drive through the parking lots.

This place is great. Hard to find so I recommend calling first for directions. Friendly people, has a convenience store, laundromat, free wifi if you bring your computer, small kitchen where they’ll make you pretty much anything if they have the ingredients. We were so glad we found this place and didn’t have to pay the crazy hotel wifi fees

Admittedly random, this is a part convenience store part hangout. Free WiFi, laundromat, plate lunch and ethanol-​free gasoline. This is where you should hang out if you want to know more about the dynamic world of sailing and fishing.
