Haleiwa, Historic coastal town on North Shore of Oahu, United States
Haleiwa features two beach parks near its small boat harbor, with Haleiwa Beach Park to the north and Haleiwa Alii Beach Park to the south.
The town emerged in 1898 when Benjamin Dillingham opened a hotel and constructed a railway line connecting Honolulu to Waialua, establishing transportation infrastructure.
The name translates to House of the Elder in Hawaiian, and the town maintains strict architectural guidelines that reflect its sugar plantation heritage.
Visitors can access multiple water activities at Haleiwa Harbor, where surf schools offer year-round lessons and water sport equipment rentals.
The Rainbow Bridge, spanning the Anahulu River, functions as the primary gateway to the old town section of Haleiwa.
