This shopping guide is organized geographically – starting at the corner of Hana Hwy and Baldwin avenue, heading uphill, these are the shops on the right. I’m not sure how many parts there will be to this Paia shopping guide -there’s a lot of great shops in this town! As things change, please add a comment below and I’ll update the listings!
Paia Fish Market – A Paia Institution since 1989. Order a fish burger. And some fries. Family Style dining – plus they serve beer! Great stop after a full day at the beach.
Paia Mercantile – A great shop (with a second location in Lahaina) to pick up the perfect souvenir or gift for friends back on the mainland.
Love the Beach– The shop’s owner, Lucinda, has been designing swimwear on Maui and Oahu for over 25 years. She has hundreds of styles and fabrics to choose from to create your own vision of the perfect bikini.
Maui Girl Swimwear Choose from a huge selection of mix and match suits, designed here on Maui, or from their boutique suits, as seen in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue for several years running, hand-sewn on island!
It is with great sadness that I report the closing of the Hemp House.

So many great shops and restaurants there – love Paia!
Hi Liz! FYI, I was at the San Lorenzo swimwear shop at Ka’ahumanu yesterday and they were having a moving sale. The ladies at the register said that they were closing the mall shop “any day now,” and will be moving to a not-yet-disclosed site in Paia on Sept. 12. Move over Paia bikini shops…there’s another one comin’ to town.
