Laie
Laie is a laid-back coastal area known for luau feasts at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Hukilau Beach Park has calm waters for summer swimming (May–October), while the big waves of La'ie Beach Park, or Pounders Beach, draw surfers all year round. Inland, the Laie Falls Trail leads to a waterfall, and the grand Laie Hawaii Temple sits on manicured grounds. Shrimp trucks line the roadside in nearby Kahuku.
