New in 3D: Haleiwa Town

Newly built in 3D, the North Shore town of Haleiwa on 3DHawaii features charming boutiques, restaurants and the iconic Haleiwa Bridge. You can explore storefronts, peer in windows and take in the vast terrain of coastline famed for its world-class surf breaks.

With the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing just a month out, all eyes will turn to this sleepy town of hippies, artisans and surfers that, despite global attention over the last few decades, has retained its laid-back vibe. It's a delight to wander past old-style wooden structures and pick up locally made crafts, dine bistro-style and devour tasty shave ice on a sun-filled day. Now you can visit virtually before you visit in real life.

If you plan on heading there soon, get the low-down on where to eat with our "Food Trip: Haleiwa" breakdown.
