Haleiwa offers a nice selection of art galleries, surf shops and eateries. Visit the North Shore Surf & Cultural Museum, established in 1999, located at the North Shore Marketplace. The museum features a wide range of surfing memorabilia, including antique surfboards, photographs and videos that chronicle the history of the surfing.

Locals will tell you that a visit to Haleiwa wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Matsumoto Shave Ice, where lines of sun-soaked people wait patiently to treat themselves to a rainbow-colored snow cone with a scoop of ice cream and azuki beans. It’s good stuff!

Each summer, the town puts on the Haleiwa Arts Festival.
