Waialua and Hale‘iwa
Though North Shore is known for its world-class surfing, the charming towns of Waialua and Hale‘iwa make for nostalgic retreats from urban Honolulu.

Hale‘iwa Bowls
At this small, grass-shack- styled kiosk (66-082 Kamehameha Hwy.), refuel with a refreshing açai bowl made with locally grown fruits like papaya, liliko‘i, lychee, mango, and avocado.
Waialua Sugar Mill
Once a hub of the sugar industry, the Waialua Sugar Mill (67-106 Kealohanui St.) on O‘ahu’s North Shore is now the sweet spot for makers of everything from surfboards to soap.
San Lorenzo Shave Ice
If you can’t bear to wait in the line snaking around the building of Matsumoto’s Shave Ice, head a few doors down to San Lorenzo Shave Ice (66-57 Kamehameha Hwy.). An offshoot of the popular swimsuit brand and shop, this shave ice spot is perfect for cooling down after a long beach day.
Woolley Brothers
Discover screen-printed art and apparel, and custom-shaped boards, at Woolley Brothers Screen Printing (67-069 Kealohanui St.), which is owned and operated by twin brothers Nat and Shaun Woolley and is housed in an iconic Waialua landmark that was once a bank. Open to the public, but appointments are suggested and can be made by calling 808-637-7468.
Number 808
At Number 808 (66-165 Kamehameha Hwy.), opened by design- savvy couple Cappy and John Esguerra, shop a well-curated line of surf-inspired goods and apparel, including swimsuits by Malia Jones, tees by Saturdays Surf, and boardshorts by Mollusk.
Rainbow Bridge
The historic Rainbow Bridge marks the northern entrance to Hale‘iwa town. Eva and Aaron take a break behind Tropical Rush (62- 620 Kamehameha Hwy.), a shop that offers a variety of ocean rentals to explore Anahulu River, which can be accessed from behind the shop and empties into the ocean.
Damiani
Damiani (Ala Moana Center, Mall Level 2, Ewa Wing) is the only company in the world to have received 18 Diamonds International Awards. Every Damiani jewel is the result of painstaking creative work, exclusive design, great attention to detail, the quality of the gems and the precision of the craftsmanship. Today, the jewels are still made by hand, one by one, in Italy. Eva wears a Diamianissima collection bracelet, available at Damiani.
Good Art Gallery
At this Hale‘iwa Store Lots gallery (66-111 Kamehameha Hwy.), peruse surf-inspired artwork from a variety of local and international artists.
Hale‘iwa Beach Park
Bask in the warm sand at Hale‘iwa Beach Park (62- 449 Kamehameha Hwy.), a perfect place to watch the sun dip below the horizon.
