Hanapepe Things to Do Tips by malianrob

I cant say that this is the most exciting thing to do in Hanapepe but as we were exploring this town we came across the swinging bridge and we walked across. So, you go across and you come back and thats all there is to it. Its not the largest or the highest swinging bridge but its something to do.
The bridge goes over the Hanapepe river and it is there for the people that live on the other side of the river.
It was first built in 1911 and it is made of wood. If there are a number of people on the bridge it does sway quite a bit.

I really liked this beach. I found it by accident but I was so glad I did. At first I wasnt sure what to expect but basically you can have a picnic here. There are tables, lots of parking and a beautiful beach. There wasnt alot of people here which was nice but ther were a few families and alot of little kids.
From what I understand this place is still used to make salt out of seawater.

Rob got his tattoo here by Sam. He does really great work and is very well known on the island for his original tribal tats.
After Rob got his tattoo people who saw it would ask "oh, did Sam do that?" I dont think that Sam knew half the people that know him.
He has a reputation for doing solid pieces. He also has a great personality and alot of knowledge and background of tribal pieces.
Rob was more than satisfied with his new piece and we are looking forward to seeing Sam in Long Beach California next year.

You can get a map almost anywhere in this town and you can do the walking tour. Its a short walk and most of the older buildings have a plaque with a picture and explainatin of what the used to be back in the 1800's. Its not the most exciting self tour but its nice.
