Pahoa, Hawaii
If you are looking for a base while in Hawaii that has an edge, Pahoa could be just what you are looking for. This quirky community has the oldest concentration of old buildings in the entire state and makes you feel like you have stepped back into the “Old West”. When in town, do not miss out on exploring the Mak’u Farmers Market before checking out the abundance of local attractions. The Lava Tree State Park and warm thermal waters of AhalanuiPark are especially enticing.
