Hanalei Center, Kauai

Hanalei Center at a Glance

The Hanalei Center on Kauai’s North Shore does not like the usual modern malls or shopping centers. Hanalei Center is a clump of historical buildings (including the Old Hanalei School) that have been refurbished and turned into boutiques and restaurants. This architectural design gives Hanalei Center its quaint and unique appeal.

Hanalei Center is an eclectic combination of boutiques, art galleries, specialty shops, apparel stores, and restaurants. Most shops here are locally owned and sell local Hawaiian items.
For snorkeling gear, surf boards, surf wear, and boogie boards visit the Hanalei Surf Shop. Surf Shop has every gear you need for the beach. Some, like surfing apparel, can even be rented out.

Hanalei Center is also the home of Yellowfish Trading Company. This shop sells 40’s and 50’s memorabilia as well as antiques and home furnishings. If vintage doesn’t appeal to you, check Sand People’s home furnishings. For casual island wear, go to Hula Beach Clothing, but if you’re looking for clothes specifically fitted for keikis (children), head to Rainbow Ducks Toys and Clothing. Tropical Clothing sells clothes exclusive for women.

If you’re a fitness buff, head to the newly added two-story modern building of Hanalei Center and join a fitness class at the Hanalei Yoga studio. Shop for your health foods at Papayas; it is also located in the new building.

Shoppers have a wide choice of snack bars and restaurants at Hanalei Center--- from coffee (Java Kai) to sandwiches (Hanalei Gourmet) to burgers (Bubba’s Burger’s). What’s Hawaii without the shaved ice? Get them at Shave Ice Paradise.
