Paia
Shopping
Haleakala Hwy./Baldwin Ave.
Paia is a rual town with a
hippie 1960's feel.
Drawn to its natural beauty and rural setting, hippies
from the mainland descended upon Paia and many never
left. They helped breathe new life into the town by
opening businesses and restoring ramshackle homes
abandoned with the departure of sugar cane jobs. Their
presence is evident through a number of alternative
shops and restaurants that dot the Paia area. Check this
shopping and dining area out on your way to Hana.
