A Local’s Guide to an O‘ahu Road Trip: Waialua to Kahuku
O‘ahu’s North Shore is more than just big waves and small towns. A new batch of local restaurants, shops and activities will keep you busy in the country.
Neighborhoods – Waialua
Waialua House is Smart Nouveau
It may look like a remodel, but this Waialua plantation-style house ain’t from the ’40s, it’s you-won’t-have-to-replace-anything new.
Overseas travel may still be iffy, but when your everyday routes feel more like ruts, road trips can break you out of the routine. A lot has changed in our neighborhoods. So we asked locals for their best one-day itinerary for other locals outside of the urban core. Make sure to pack your cooler, ice packs, beach towel, slippers and a good amount of respect—don’t leave that trash behind!—before you go.
