Honomu

Bordering Akaka Falls State Park, this tiny town did not die when sugar did, and its sugar-plantation past is reflected in its wooden boardwalks and metal-roofed buildings. You can check out homemade baked goods, have an espresso, or browse the local art at one of the fine galleries. It's also fun to wander through some old, dusty shops filled with little treasures such as antique bottles.
