Fodor's Review:

During the 1920s this seaside hamlet boasted a posh seaside hotel at the end of a railroad line (both long gone). During the 1960s, hippies gathered here, followed by surfers from around the world. Today Haleiwa is a fun mix, with old general stores and contemporary boutiques, galleries, and eateries. Be sure to stop in at Liliuokalani Protestant Church, founded by missionaries in the 1830s. It's fronted by a large, stone archway built in 1910 and covered with night-blooming cereus.
