Pāʻia
A laid-back, hippie-style former plantation town on the north shore, lined with surf shops, galleries and cafés, and the last stop for supplies before the Hana Highway.
Pāʻia was once a town where sugarcane plantation workers lived. Today it keeps its colorful old wooden storefronts and is home to surf shops, craft stores, yoga studios and a range of restaurants, with a relaxed atmosphere. Before heading onto the Hana Highway, you can fill up your tank and pick up a simple meal and fruit here. Paia Bay Beach to the west is good for a stroll, and Hoʻokipa Beach is just a short distance east. Street parking is scarce, so use the public parking lot.
