List of Hawaiian Stores in San Diego

I have come to the conclusion that much of the population in southern California really doesn't know the geographic boundaries of San Diego, or that North County businesses are still part of San Diego County.

If you look at any map of San Diego County you will see that it's borders extent all the way up to San Clemente, which then turns into Orange County. Having said that, I have decided to compile a small list of the known, as well as some little known stores that are Hawaiian themed. Some sell Hawaiian clothing, some sell food, some sell fresh flower leis. Some are predominantly Hawaiian and some are not.

• Wave Shoppe Hawaiian Shirts, Downtown Escondido
• Green Tea Hawaii, Westfield North County Mall
• Hansen's Surf Shop, Encinitas
• Ohana Creations, Carlsbad
• Motu Hawaii, Pacific Beach
• Marukai Living, Kearney Mesa
• Island Hoppers, San Diego
• South Pacific Shore Hawaiian Clothing, National City (I didn't give them a link to their website because customers say they are never open).

There are probably a few other places like Wal-Mart, Target etc. that have some seasonal offerings that are Hawaiian, such as Home Depot sells Tiki statues and decoration during summer months.

But we prefer to shop the smaller mom and pop stores in San Diego County because without our continues support they will be gone.

You can also find Hawaiian products such a imported shirt, leis and trinkets in many of the surf shacks that dot the beach communities and boardwalks.
