Living on an island may seem to have a limit to what you can do and how much there is to see, but Oahu is no such case. We find ourselves exploring new places every week and seeing parts of our island that we haven't seen before. Recently, during one of our many island explorations, my husband and I finally had a chance to visit the famous historical town of Haleiwa, North Shore. This quaint town is a one of a kind gem that attracts tourists like flies, and I don't blame them. The streets of Haleiwa are lined with sweet little shops that carry all sorts of cute souvenirs many of which are made on the island. There are clothing stores, jewelry shops, restaurants and more. Most of these shops take pride in the fact that they carry locally made or grown products. There are so many things to see and try a few being a Clark Little art gallery, a baby clothing store, a fruit stand selling local fruits and the famous Matsumoto shave ice. We spent the morning getting lost in the many shops and stores as we admired what they had to offer. If you're visiting Oahu and have a chance to explore the island, this is a wonderful place to go.
