The old bridge doesn't keep visitors out, so Hanalei town has its share of touristy boutiques and galleries. But even their setting, such as the rustic Old Hanalei School retail complex (check out the vintage restrooms), beats your average strip mall.
Hanalei is home to one of the planet's prettiest little churches, circa 1912. Sunday services (10 a.m.) at the green-shingled, American Gothic-style Wai'oli Hui'ia Church, in the heart of town, include hymns sung in the Hawaiian language.
Visitors are welcome. The dress code is Aloha shirts, muumuus and flip-flops, with an occasional plumeria blossom in the hair.
Pick up a handheld lauhala fan, woven from the leaves of a hala tree, from a basket by the door if there's not enough breeze through the open windows. Their stained glass has a colorful theme of tropical flowers and banana leaves.
After the service, look behind the church for Christian missionaries Abner and Lucy Wilcox's 1837-vintage home. It's listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with its lava-rock chimney, classic koa furniture and a master bedroom where Lucy gave birth to eight sons.
