Hamakua is along the northern coast of the Big Island of Hawaii. It is about 50 miles long ending with the famous Waipio Valley. Hamakua coast is the name for the areas between lands just outside of Hilo to the valleys of Waipio. Hamakua is made up of ten different communities; Ahualoa, Hakalau, Honokaa, Honomu, Kukuihaele, Laupahoehoe, Ookala, Paauilo, Papaaloa, Pepeekeo. These rural communities grew up around the sugar plantation. 100 years later all these unique communities lay nestled along the road that links this windward coast. In the ancient times, the lands of Hamakua were a well known area for the right feathers of birds and the canoe logs. Now there sections are used for Kaloing (the farming of taro). Hamakua is known today as “ALL COUNTRY”!
