Don your coolest shades for Waimea, a similar beach town associated with surfing since the 15th century when Hawaiians got into the act of ‘wave-sliding’.
Historic Waimea Valley affords the Kuanala Loop Trail, and numerous beach parks offer a choice selection of activities, depending on your particular bent – and the season! Winter waves can give you a serious pounding!
A perpetual holiday feel is enhanced by al fresco boutiques, colorful food stalls and the leisurely and hip local crew who use the beachfront as a meeting place come rain or shine.
