While most tourists in Maui head straight for Hana, make like a local and take a detour to Paia instead. In this small seaside slice of paradise, you can enjoy the best of Hawaii's colorful surf culture, clothing boutiques, coffee shops, and culinary fare, without the crowds. End your day at Ho'okipa Beach Park, and crack open a local brew as you watch resident surfers and windsurfers catch big waves as the sun melts below the horizon.
