Maui Hands - Paʻia B2
Once a thriving sugar town, a century ago Paʻia boasted 10,000 residents living in
plantation camps above the now-defunct sugar mill. During the 1950s there was an ex-
odus to Kahului, shops were shuttered and Paʻia began to collect cobwebs.
Attracted by low rents, hippies seeking paradise landed in Paʻia in the 1970s. A decade
later, windsurfers discovered Hoʻokipa Beach, and Paʻia broke onto the map big-time. Its
aging wooden storefronts, now splashed in sunshine yellows and sky blues, house a wild
array of shops geared to visitors. And the dining scene? Any excuse to be here at meal-
time will do.
Parking is notoriously tight in Paʻia, doubly so at mealtimes. Try the public parking lot
on the west side of town just before the Shell gas station. If that's full, try the dirt lot on
Baldwin Ave between the post office and downtown.
