Old Kapaa Town
Old Kapa'a is a quaint 19th century plantation town. The streets are lined with a variety of unique shops and an abundance of ono (delicious) restaurants. A wonderful place to take a stroll and see the wares of local merchants.

Look for the mountain ridge between Wailua and Kapaa which looks like the figure of a man on his back. Legend has it that this was a pesky giant who ate constantly. The villagers of Wailua, tired of feeding the giant, tricked him into eating a great number of rocks hidden in a vast quantity of fish and poi. The giant was so full that he lay down to take a nap, fell into a deep sleep, and has yet to wake up.
