Windward Villages
Towns, Windward O'ahu
Fodor's Review:
Tiny villages -- generally consisting of a sign, store, a beach park, possibly a post office, and not much more -- are strung along Kamehameha Highway on the Windward side. Each has something to offer. In Waiahole, look for fruit stands and an ancient grocery store. In Kaaawa, there's a lunch spot and convenience store/gas station. In Punaluu, stop at the gallery of fanciful landscape artist Lance Fairly and the woodworking shop, Kahaunani Woods & Crafts, plus venerable Kaya Store or the Shrimp Shack. Kim Taylor Reece's photo studio, featuring haunting portraits of hula dancers, is between Punaluu and Hauula. Hauula has Ching Store, now a clothing shop where sarongs wave like banners and, at Haula Kai Shopping Center, Tamura Market, with excellent seafood and the last liquor before Mormon-dominated Laie.
