Located on the windiest part of the rock next to the Maui Ocean Center, the open-air, 2-level mall has seen better days when they were a fairly bustling little place years ago. Now, I'd guesstimate they're about 30% occupied. My stroll through last night felt dreary and abandoned, though its still up-kept. It used to house quite a few restaurants too, but now they're down to just two which are Beach Bums and a new place Cafe del Vino. The Oceanside Restaurant in the back corner closed down due to a loon who set the restaurant ablaze a few months ago. The remaining businesses are tourist traps and services like a Maui Dive Shop and Pacific Whale Foundation.
PARKING:
Despite trying to launch a paid parking system a few years ago, it's now back to being free. Parking is plentiful and shared with the Maui Ocean Center.
TIPS:
This is a pickup point for the Maui Bus, located on the harbor side on the mall's lower level.
While not part of the mall, the island's only Carl's Jr./Green Burrito is nearby along with a gas station. read more
