About

Waipunalei

Waipunalei, located between Laupahoehoe Point and the Hamakua Coast cliffs, is a rural and oceanfront Laupahoehoe neighborhood with plantation-era contours and wide Pacific views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Laupahoehoe Point Park area, where picnic lawns, boat-ramp activity, and salt-air trade winds set the daily rhythm. Low-slung homes and small-acre parcels follow the terrain, with gulches and ironwood windbreaks shaping the streetscape. Laupahoehoe Train Museum anchors local history, while Okawa’s Fish Market and the Laupahoehoe General Store mark the town’s working shoreline culture. Days track the weather: misty mauka slopes, bright coastal breaks, and the steady sound of surf below.
