Fabulous product, but hard to get because usually still closed when I try, even when Facebook and Google sites say it's open. Beware of consistency and reliability with reported open hours and actually being open!!!

Around 12 to 4 o'clock it gets busy so after you order be ready for some time before you get your item. Great walk from the beach and back.

A trip to Avila Beach is not complete without a visit to Big Al’s at the Beach. The flavors here are wonderful, my personal favorite is the root beer (which is a wonderful rendition of a root beer float). We like to take the short walk after a day at the beach before we get in the car and head home.Kid-friendliness: Just a perfect beach dessert for kiddos.

Hubs & kids say this was the best snowcone ever. I'm not a huge fan but even I was impressed and would gladly go back. The snow cones were huge and stayed powdery and kept the syrup instead of turning into ice with the syrup just pooling on the bottom. I got a rootbeer float that had ice cream in the center. Amazing!Kid-friendliness: Great for the kids

Yummy shaved ice. You can get up to 3 flavors in one cup. The small was enough for two. Coffee is good, dirty chai was delicious. Decor and seating vibes were meh, but I'm glad we came. Enjoyed it. Would come back for the shaved ice! Thanks!

Literally came to Avila beach just for the tiny two room aquarium. Well I just love this small slice of seaside heaven. We were strolling around and came across Big Al's. The shave ice is 100% on point. Had the lava flow with ice cream in the middle. When some asks you want something from Big Al's. Just smile say Shoots Brotha and throw up your Shaka.

The service today was great! They got my whole family order right which was 11. I really recommend coming here and trying out their boba blended smoothies!

After an afternoon at the beach, it's always nice to have something cold and shaved ice definitely fits the bill! We ordered a small POG shaved ice and we were pleasantly surprised with the size- I felt it was a good amount for the price. The texture of the ice was pretty good, though not as fine as some other places we've been in Hawaii and the flavors were a bit uneven which was a bit of a bummer but it's definitely a place we'd go to the next time we're in Avila Beach! They also have other little knick knacks to look at and buy in the store as well.

Best boba in town, I got the blended taro boba and it was amazing I had just finished surfing g and went there to see what they got and my friends got shaved ice and blue Hawaii boba and there’s were soooo good the shaved ice was really good and she added the sour stay on it that was also really good. The prices and reasonable for a regular size for the boba is $6.00 and the shaved ice was also a really good price. I would really recommend going her so drinks and shaved ice, they also are like a little shop which was cool to look around while waiting for our drinks.

Such a good shaved ice place! Perfect for the beach when kids get bored. Not much of a hike from the shore, overall amazing service. Takes card or cash, also recommended the flavor Keikei! Havehh my t tried the coffee or drinks, but I'm sure they are amazing! Thank you for your time.
