Aloha and Mahalo for visiting our site, please take some time to carefully look at the information we have provided for you about our Bed and Breakfast inLahaina.Then you can investigate the links from the green words we have provided. The links will give you information on activities, shows, and luaus, and allow you to make reservations on-line for just about anything you can imagine. Virtual Tour of Old Lahaina Town Penny's Place Inn Paradise Bed and Breakfast is located on the island of Maui, Hawaii, on world famous Front Street in Historic Old Lahaina Town. Just150 feet from the water's edge, we offer ocean views of Lana'i, Moloka'i, and the leeward beaches of Lahaina and the Kaanapali Resort and golf course area. Lahaina Town was once the Whaling capitol of the world and the Royal Capitol of the Hawaiian Islands. The Pacific Whale Foundation now studies and protects the whales that visit between December and April, and the Lahaina Restoration Foundation maintains and protects the historic sites of Lahaina Town dating back to the time of the Monarchy, the Whalers, and the Missionaries. Front street is the main street through town and runs parallel with the water. The colorful buildings resemble an old western town with false fronts and interesting details. There are little shops, galleries, and watering holes in abundance, and it can take several days to find and explore them all. At sunset, it seems, everyone in town gathers along the sea wall to watch the glorious sunset, before dinner at one of Lahaina's many fine restaurants.
