It is still a little chilly, but Hawaii is changing from the rainy season to the dry season. The plumeria trees are gradually beginning to bloom and the sky has turned a deep blue. The waves on Oahu’s North Shore, where big waves come in the winter, are gradually calming down. ……? I took a drive to the North Shore.
This time, I would like to share a sightseeing tour of the North Shore that included eating lunch, enjoying sweets, stopping by a coffee shop, and incidentally browsing stores for a total of less than $19. In just half a day, you will come back to town (in Honolulu) refreshed in body and soul, saying, “Ahhh, that was fun! I have a personal recommendation for you.
Departure is around 11:00 am. Don’t forget to bring water, tea, or other beverages. It takes about one hour by car from Honolulu to the North Shore, an area just on the other side of the island. Let’s head for the beach at once without stopping at the town of Haleiwa. Continue along the beach to Foodland, a local supermarket across from the snorkeling spot Shark’s Cove. Here, locals usually buy poke bowls (poke donburi). Poke is seasoned poke made from chopped tuna and other fish. You can choose your favorite poke and have it placed on rice for $7.99. Since this is a supermarket, there is no need to tip. Now, go to the beach before your rice gets cold!
Poke Bowl is a bowl of warm rice topped with cold poke. It tastes so good when you eat it on the beach under the blue sky. The sparkling ocean, the sound of waves, and palm trees swaying in the wind …… paradise is the most luxurious situation for lunch.
The waves were still high that day, so each person on the beach was enjoying his or her own time, watching surfers as good as the pros, napping, playing in the surf, and so on. After relaxing in such a comfortable space, we went to the town of Haleiwa.
Passing the long-established surf store “Surf N Sea,” which has a store in a building built in 1921, cross the bridge and pass by the “Haleiwa Store Lot” where “Matsumoto Shave Ice” and “Clark Little Gallery” are located, and you will reach the center of the town.
The goal is the North Shore Marketplace. It is a traditional shopping center with small stores.
Cooling down after a hot day at the beach is a great way to enjoy gelato! Gelato is a popular, award-winning gelato store that was established in Hawaii in 2010. The regular gelato with a choice of two scoops costs $7.85.
After enjoying dessert, it’s time for shopping at the next store. Sohari Living is a store that has taken the world by storm with its tasteful collection of Hawaiian goods. The store is filled with linens such as cushion covers, fragrances, sign boards and ornaments, tableware, stationery, and other items for room decoration. The shop is full of items such as “Wouldn’t it look more Hawaiian if I put one of these in my room? “Would this be a good gift for someone? It is sure to be a fun experience just to look at them. This time, many people stopped in front of the store.
Tote bags and eco bags are 50% off, and some people buy several at once. This store often has sale items somewhere in the store, so don’t forget to check.
After shopping, be sure to stop by Coffee Gallery, another coffee shop next door, for a cup of Hawaiian coffee. You can enjoy Kona coffee, one of the world’s top three coffees, as well as carefully roasted coffee beans from Maui and Oahu’s North Shore.
Since there is often a line, it is nice to wait in line and look around the store while being surrounded by the aroma of coffee. Coffee beans and coffee cups are on sale, and you can’t help but browse to choose a souvenir.
There are also sweets in the showcase (quite sweet). After ordering and paying the bill, wait by the side and they will call your name.
The most popular are cappuccinos and frappuccinos. If you like coffee, I would recommend “Coffee of the Day”. On this day, it was “Aloha” for dark. For medium, it was “Haleiwa. If you ask what kind of coffee it tastes like, they will let you taste it in a small cup.
The medium coffee “Haleiwa” was refreshing with a gentle acidity, perfect after the gelato.
Before getting in the car, another place to stop by is the surf store Raging Isle. This store has a collection of surf brands. You can find some great bargains at 30-50% off, so if you find something you like, buy it immediately. You can even find some great bargains at 30-50% off, so if you find something you like, buy it right away. You will have an exciting time!
On the way back, we drove through the pineapple fields around Dole Plantation and the Wai’anae Mountains, one of the two mountain ranges on Oahu. The North Shore has a completely different atmosphere than Honolulu, and time passes more slowly. If you are on Oahu, be sure to drive to the other side of the island, which can be reached in an hour. You will experience a different side of Hawaii. No matter how many times you visit, you will always melt away in its charm.
