About
Hamakua
Hamakua, located between Honokaʻa and Laupāhoehoe, is a rural and coastal Paauilo neighborhood with sweeping pasturelands and dramatic gulches. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Paauilo Post Office area on Mamalahoa Highway, where a small cluster of local storefronts and service counters meets the steady rhythm of Highway 19. Plantation-era cottages and working ranch parcels sit against a backdrop of ironwood windbreaks and ocean-facing slopes. The Hamakua Coast’s lookout points and stream valleys shape daily routes and weekend drives. The Paauilo General Store, Paauilo Feed & Garden, and the historic Paauilo Mill anchor local identity with a practical, working-country feel.
