Historic
Lahaina town |
|
  Lahaina: Maui's
miles of sunny south and west-facing shoreline were perfect
for developing a new visitor industry. These shores are
sheltered from the prevailing northeast Tradewinds; the
warm sun is predictable, the waters calm, the rains infrequent,
the sunsets sublime; and the outlying Islands - Moloka'i,
Lana'i, and Kaho'olawe - give scenic depth to the horizon.
While Kapalua Resort is rife with golf courses, tennis
clubs, luxury hotels, bed & Breakfasts and Condominiums,
Front Street in historic Lahaina Town still retains much
of the charm of the old whaling days.
Be sure to visit the Lahaina
Restoration Foundation offices
for a self-guided walking tour of 31 designated historic sites.
