Haleiwa and North Shore, Honolulu

Old plantation town an hour north, surf country and the shrimp truck corridor. Matsumoto Shave Ice, Ted's Bakery and the Kahuku garlic shrimp scene live here.

Haleiwa is the old plantation town an hour north of Honolulu, the capital of surf country and the North Shore's shrimp-truck corridor. Matsumoto Shave Ice and Ted's Bakery are the standing pilgrimages, and the Kahuku garlic shrimp scene runs the coast beyond. It is the island's definitive eating road trip.

The full Haleiwa and North Shore food guide is still being researched. In the meantime, see the Honolulu food guide for the places we cover, or the neighbourhood index.
