About Haleiwa
Haleiwa is a North Shore community on Oahu, known for surf culture, plantation-era architecture, and a compact small-town center. Businessman Benjamin Dillingham opened a hotel here in 1898 and named it Haleiwa, helping establish the place as a destination. The town has dozens of historic buildings influenced by the Waialua Sugar Company era, and its location makes it a gateway to famous North Shore beaches. Haleiwa feels relaxed, busy, local, and tourist-facing all at once.
