The former sugar town of
HANA
itself might seem a disappointment at the end of the road; it's a pleasant enough little community that isn't especially interested in attracting tourists. Hasegawa's General Store is a friendly place to pick up supplies, and a delightful
red-sand beach
can be reached by a precarious trail from the end of Uakea Road. Rooms at the deluxe
Hotel Hana-Maui
(tel 808/248-8211 or 1-800/3215-4262,
; $200-250)
start
at around $400;
Joe's Place
on Uakea Road is a rudimentary but affordable alternative (tel 808/248-7033; $50-75). There's also
camping
beside the black-sand beach at lovely Waianapanapa State Park, four miles short of Hana ($5; tel 808/984-8109).
