Charlie's Restaurant
Paia
(808) 579-9453
Charlie's serves one of the island's most popular (and biggest) breakfasts as well as an extensive lunch and dinner menu. It is also the only pizza in Paia. Charlie's is also a popular spot to watch important sporting events via satellite, and on occasion, Willy Nelson can be spotted.

Paia - Some may come to know Paia only as the last town and traffic stop before the adventure to Hana begins, but this culturally diverse, free-spirited town is worthy of a closer look. Many of Maui’s characters live or hang out in Paia, and being there sometimes feels like you’re revisiting the 1960s. There are some very interesting shops to browse, a few good restaurants, and a fantastic health-oriented grocery store, all on a two-sided main street. Jacques Restaurant serves up some great island food with a French fair. On Fridays, it's a great place to hang out and have a few beers. Right next door to Jacques is Charlies, another local bar/restaurant that caters the local people. Paia is also the unofficial hang town for most of the serious windsurfing contingent – legendary Ho’okipa Beach is among the sport’s elite playgrounds.

Hana - Since the Hana Highway. was paved in 1984, the town has undergone a considerable tourist boom. While not exactly "the last of old Hawaii," as it is sometimes called, Hana is relaxed enough to allow visitors to stop and smell the plumerias. There isn't much going on here, which is part of its charm. Activities such as exploring ancient heiaus, watching the sun rise, strolling along secluded beaches, and joining the entire town in cheering on the local ball team are the little things that make time in Hana feel like a vacation from your vacation.
