Hamakua -
(population 6,108)
Clean, green and refreshing, the Hamakua Coast receives cooling
trade winds and ample rainfall to sustain agriculture in abundance.
Small farms and homes on large lush lots are available. The
Hilo-Hamakua coast is former sugar cane plantation lands now
planted with trees and dotted with small farms of ginger,
papayas, awa and many other flowers and foods. The Hamakua
Coast is a stunningly beautiful place whose history and leisurely
way of life are treasures its communities want to preserve.
One visit and you'll understand why.
The towns and communities along the Hamakua coast are steeped
in rich cultural history and traditions. Honoka'a is the largest
community in this district, with shopping and schools. It
is the gateway to the incredible Waipio Valley. Generations
of many cultural backgrounds makes the Hamakua Coastline a
true "melting pot" of Hawai'i's people.
