Paia is known for its beautiful beaches, large arts community, scenic attractions, and culinary delights! Luckily, Paia is small enough that just about anything you want to reach in town can be accessed by walking or biking. If you are looking for trendy shops and charming restaurants serving up traditional Hawaiian fare be sure to explore the options along Main Street.

Here are a few additional suggestions of things to do in Paia:

• Hana Highway: For an unforgettable afternoon drive, head down this scenic highway to get a closer look at the beautiful beaches and lush green scenery in the area.
• Maui Crafts Guild: Set in a two-story wooden building, this crafts shop features the work of the best artists in the area.
• Go to the Beach: Baldwin Beach Park is one of the many beaches in the area where the locals spend their days off soaking up the rays.
• Maui Tropical Plantation: Located just outside of Paia in neighboring Wailuku, this plantation has the West Maui Mountains as a backdrop, and the guided tours provide insight into Maui's booming agriculture industry.

Don't let the small size of Paia fool you. There a number of major events and festivals held here throughout the year that appeal to all ages and interests. Listen to local bands playing traditional Hawaiian music during the annual town celebration known as Paia Fest in June, or enjoy a festive night of shopping and giving to local charities during Paia Gives every December.

A vacation rental is the preferred option for those staying in Paia. Book a spacious home within walking distance of the many attractions Paia has to offer, or rent a lavish condo with ocean views from right out your bedroom window. No matter what you're looking for in your vacation, there's a property available in town that will meet all of your needs.

If you have some extra time to explore the surrounding area, visit the major city of Kahului, or the beautiful beaches of Lahaina.
