I spent the day at Hale'iwa Ali'i Beach Park and noticed "Hale'iwa Surf Shop" across the street…read more I visited three surf shops while exploring the North Shore, and this was my favorite of the three. It is located in a house that has been converted into a retail shop. It is quaint and unassuming. It has some major brand inventory--but the majority of its stock is clothing and accessories of their own design. They have some designs that feature a "bridge" (a nod to the nearby bridge that crosses the Anahulu River), and some designs that feature a rooster (a wink to all of those feral chickens that you see running around). You can go to their website for online shopping--but the online shop does not have all of the items available in store. Sometimes I think the term "authentic" is overused nowadays; but the shop does feel "of a place".

Surf N Sea...YES PLEASE! My husband and I were looking to…read morerent a kayak on the North Shore, and Surf N Sea popped up in my search. Not only are the prices reasonable, but the service is great too. They made sure we had everything we needed for our kayaking adventure. We didn't need instruction as we're experienced, but it was nice to know that it was offered if needed. They also rent SUP's. The actual Surf N Sea store has SO MUCH stuff...clothes, swimwear, flip flops, and more. They even sell water and sodas. Plus, they have a bathroom. Not sure if it's for everyone, but they offered it to us she once we were going to kayak. The service in here is great too! If in the area, stop in Surf N Sea, you'll find everything you need and more!

Surf N Sea is a classic Haleiwa staple that specializes in all things ocean activities! You can…read morerent gear for surfing, stand up paddle boarding, snorkeling, freediving, scuba, and even kayaking. They even offer lessons and tours. If you're looking to do any water activities and don't have the gear, this is a great spot on the North Shore. I mostly come here to shop, they have all the best surf / beach brands. Which is great since most surf brands have closed down their physical locations. They have racks on racks of awesome swimsuits and clothes. I love looking through all of their surf competition shirts. I think the last time we bought a surf comp shirt we even got the matching poster for free! I also bought my short fins here and was able to find a really cute pair. The service here was super nice and helpful when looking for a pair of fins. Now I'm in the market for longer freediving fins and this is the spot I'm gonna check out the next time I'm in Haleiwa.

Unfortunately, the customer service was very disappointing. My wife and I visited the store while…read moreshe was looking for some shirts, but not a single staff member greeted us or offered to help. The employees seemed irritated, avoided making eye contact, and didn't create a welcoming atmosphere. This store is in a high traffic tourist area, so providing friendly and welcoming customer service should be a priority. A simple greeting or offer of assistance goes a long way and can make a big difference in a customer's experience. I hope the staff receive additional customer service training, as a more positive and attentive approach would benefit both customers and the business.

Stopped here for some North Shore shirts. Smallish store jammed full with all kinds of merch…read more Plenty of shirts in stock and all different sizes. Plus shorts, bikinis, foot wear and beach going supplies. They got some surfing supplies covered too - I mean it is a surf shop. A couple of friendly teen (I assume) employees right there to make sure we found everything we were looking for. Bought a 2 shirts with nice graphics. Prices were ok, not bargain but not outrageous and they feel thicker than the usual shirts being sold

I've sound some really amazing subtle aloha shirts here. The fabric is so soft and he loves wearing them. The selection of girls clothing is also good, but Roxy sizes run small so I usually don't find items for myself.

If you are a huge Snoopy and Peanuts fan, THIS is the shop for you!…read more Long story short, I came across this store through social media and was initially planning to visit their Waikiki store. However, we took a day trip to Haleiwa and realize they had a second location in this town. The store is very easy to spot. Please note that parking in this area is kinda difficult so expect to walk a little bit. The store is pretty small but offers a wide variety of t-shirts, stickers, tote bags, key chains, etc. This store is not cheap by any means, so be ready to drop some serious coin here. However, I really liked that they had some unique designs specific to Haleiwa, which in my opinion made them a great souvenir for Snoopy fans.

I'm a massive Snoopy / Peanuts fan so have been here during both of my latest Hawaii trips. This…read morelocation is slightly more spacious (and brighter) than the location in Honolulu. Both stores have official, exclusive items to their location, but this location I think tends to have more options overall. Unfortunately, many of the cutest items you might see on social media (or even in these older Yelp reviews) sell out. When I went in late 2023, they had plushie keychains but in February 2026 there was only one (unpopular) character left and it was at his location. However, overall items were the same both times at both locations. And this time around both locations had a tote bag that was unavailable when I first visited. If you want to soak it all in, I say consider what you want to buy (especially since prices are quite outrageously high), and pace yourself and take your time comparing your options. Service overall has been alright, nothing very notable. I do get the feeling that they might be overwhelmed at times. I've noticed that the shop tends to be filled with Japanese tourists (and the store is Japanese owned).

I missed this place last time I was around so I made it a priority to come back and I'm glad I did…read more This location has a huge selection of Haleiwa/Hawaii specific shirts which I loved. We left with 5 or 6 shirts because they all looked great. Staff looked like they were constantly restocking the shirts so they were not lacking in inventory. Shirts were about $49 which was steep but it makes sense with how Patagonia is. I'm glad I was able to make it and its worth it if you're a big t-shirt collector.

The selection of merchandise is HUGE!…read more Lots of Hawaii- and Haleiwa-exclusive items of all sorts. Everything is tastefully placed and the store itself is huge with a dedicated kids corner in the back. Of course you should expect the prices are higher but the quality of the materials and items are meant to last. Found so many great clothing pieces full price and also clearance priced for family and friends. Friendly staff. Quick check out. Huge parking lot right outside. 10/10.
