Paia, Maui

We spent 2 days in Paia, Maui after our backpack in the Haleakala Crater. Paia means "noisy" in Hawaiian and the town is referred to as Maui's Coolest Little Town. We liked Paia because it is quite different from the big resort towns in Hawaii. There are lots of interesting people that live here. It's like a windsurfer/hippie colony. Lots of great food and interesting shops.

Interesting mural on an old structure on the beach. We believe these were structures from the old Paia Sugar Mill.

Angie outside our hotel in Paia. We stayed at the Paia Inn which was one of the coolest hotels we have ever stayed in. The hotel is in the middle of downtown Paia above the shops on the street. Everything you need is within walking distance (beach/food/shopping).
