This walkable waterfront stretch along Front Street in Lahaina is West Maui's historic heart, where art galleries, surf shops, and restaurants line the ocean side of this former whaling town. The massive Banyan Tree from 1873 anchors Banyan Court - it's truly spectacular and a must-see when exploring the area. While some storefronts remain empty post-fires, the core attractions survived and there's still plenty to discover, from live music venues to the old Lahaina Courthouse with its free historical exhibits. Come in late afternoon when the galleries open and the golden hour light hits the harbor - it's magic.
