This is Lahaina's downtown area. It's the best place to shop for souvenirs, go to bars/restaurants/dessert shops, and hang at the Banyan Court where the oldest banyan tree in Maui resides. **For shaved ice on Front Street, go to Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice.
Beachside shopping mall with boutique and restaurants.
