Cute city with tons of little stores, food trucks and interesting places to see. This is a nice little tour to add to your North shore trip to Oahu. We came here after a day in the beach and took a nice walk in the stores, galleries and little restaurants.

Matsumoto's is the reason you stop here, as they have the best shaved ice on all of Oahu, possibly all of Hawaii. There are a few shops here as well, but my main issue is there really are no places to sit with your shaved ice, nor are there truly any places to take cover from the elements. We got caught here during a torrential rain covering all of Oahu, and there were few places to be able to seek shelter from the rain here...

Ugh—ick. Haleiwa is ill prepared for visitors. The parking is punishing and complicated. Access to public restrooms is fraught, embattled and usually disgusting. The proliferation of food trucks has escalated a charming legacy and made it grasping, over populated and probably under-supported. Purists would argue that the charm is that it’s authentic but there is no balance when the village does not keep up with demands. They promote and expect your visit but once you’re there it’s a minefield.

Yesterday my partner and I had our car towed away from the parking lot at Ace Hardware. We had just bought two items there, and asked if they had a restroom. We were told we would have to go "across the street", though actually we had to go down the road and wait in a long line. Anyway, while walking back to Ace's we saw our car get towed by! Long story short, we had to get an Uber car for a ten mile drive to the house where the car was taken, then pay $175 for the release of our car! Several phone calls were to no avail, and when we tried to talk to Ace staff they said there was nothing they could do. Huh? You contract with a company to tow away vehicles and there is nothing you can do?
Anyway, looking into the situation via the Internet we learned that others have had the same problem in Haleiwa for several years. The issue is apparently complicated by the fact that some citizens are reluctant to object because the owner of the land where the cars are taken is a state senator, and the owner of the towing company and his wife are big in the local Rotary Club.

What an amazing little town....we were on a tour and did not have time to stop and take all of it in except for shave ice with ice cream at the bottom at Matsumotos. Looked like it was stuck in time in the early 60”s.....really a place to be explored and spend time.

Took the family to Oahu and after stopping at Byodo Temple and the Dole Plantation, decided to drive up to Haleiwa for some shopping and food. Was not disappointed at all. Quite a variety of shops and stores, and a very good way of spending time closer to the north shore of Oahu. Highly recommended

Very touristy. Lots of surf shops and souvenir stores. Many food trucks and art stores. The art stores featured lots of local folks but pricy. Not many if any chain places which is nice. People mostly friendly but the merchants can be pushy especially the Maui Pearl Diving place. Phew!! Relentless. Could spend the whole day If shopping and local stuff is your thing.

I'm thinking of visiting here on Christmas, are the stores there going to be open then?

I can not give a good answer to that question.I would imagine their stores would be like those on the mainland,some open some not.If you have specific attractions you want to visit,I always go online to their websites and get their hours of operation.Enjoy the natural beauty of the entire North Shore!

Hello! How do I get here on public transport for a day trip from Waikiki, say departing the Duke Statue? Thank you.

You need to go to Da Bus website and get the number of the bus. You probably need to catch the bus on Kuhio Ave.
