In Sugar's heyday these two neighboring towns were bustling with sugar workers patronizing stores, saloons, hotels and theaters that lined the towns Main Street. In recent years, the two town's restored historic buildings are once again bustling, this time populated by an influx of homesteaders, artistsans and visitors who ply the small restaurants, art galleries, and boutiques that are located along the towns Main Street. Hawi and Kapa'au are great spots to stop for lunch or to purchase picnic supplies on the way to Majestic Pololu Valley that is located at the end of Hwy 270.
