Editorial Review for Old Hanalei Town – by Suz Andreasen
The Scene
Driving over the one-lane bridge into town feels like a step back in time. Located at the crest of Hanalei Bay, the town has plenty to offer in the way of food, shopping, beaches and local history. The pier is the spot where Peter, Paul and Mary wrote "Puff the Magic Dragon" and you'll definitely feel the presence of the tie-dyed counterculture around the turn-of-the-century buildings that mark this landmark locale.
The Experience
Each street side has a plantation-style shopping complex, and the best place to start is the center of town. The Ching Young village, marked by the vibrant red, '50s-style Chinese pagoda entrance is a great stop for surf shops, local artisanal galleries and shaved ice. Across the street, the Hanalei Center is home to pearl shops, an antique Hawaiiana gallery and Java Kai, a favorite coffee haunt.
