The double-arched concrete bridge over the stream at the edge of Haleʻiwa, a pickup crossing, surfboards leaning on the rail. The gateway to the North Shore since 1921.

The bridge over Anahulu Stream was built in 1921 with two low arches of concrete, and it has been the way into Haleʻiwa town ever since. Locals call it the Rainbow Bridge for the shape, not the color. Every surfer heading to the winter breaks crosses it, and the town on the far side is where the boards get waxed and the shave ice gets eaten.

The breaks are the North Shore's fame. The bridge is what the people who live here see every day, and what tells them they are home.

A gateway as a keepsake. The red bow on the surfboard is the holiday touch, and the bridge is the quiet landmark the surf crowd knows by heart.

The Rainbow Bridge over Anahulu Stream is the way into Haleʻiwa town and the whole North Shore of Oʻahu, from the Banzai Pipeline to North Shore surfing season. This rainbow bridge ornament is an Oʻahu ornament and Hawaiʻi ornament, a piece of Haleʻiwa town history for the tree.

Every North Shore ornament ships ready to give. Hang it on the tree, in a window, off a lamp, or send one to the person who misses North Shore most.

3-inch faceted crystal glass ornament, white-backed print, line-drawn in 1880s engraving style, your choice of white or gold gift box.

All Crystal Glass Ornaments Items

Today the North Shore is known the world over as the home of big-wave surfing, while remaining a working Hawaiian coast of small towns, farms, and beaches. Our North Shore designs gather that identity — the hibiscus-and-1795 emblem, the surf heritage, the honu and the bay — into wearable form. North Shore, Oʻahu — the Seven-Mile Miracle, where the winter swells of the Pacific made a quiet stretch of Hawaiian coast the heart of big-wave surfing.

Long before the surfers came, this coast was home to Native Hawaiians, who fished its waters and farmed its valleys — among them Waimea Valley, a place still held sacred and cared for to this day. In the plantation era, sugar and pineapple spread across the inland flats around Waialua, and in 1899 Benjamin Dillingham's railroad brought the Haleʻiwa Hotel, making Haleʻiwa the North Shore's town. The old plantation storefronts still line the road through Haleʻiwa, beside the twin-arched rainbow bridge over the Anahulu.

Why People Visit the North Shore

The North Shore draws surfers and beachgoers from around the world — a pilgrimage coast in winter, a laid-back beach town in summer. Visitors come for the waves, the turtles, the food trucks, and the unmistakable sense of a Hawaiian coast that has kept its own pace. Please visit with care and respect for the communities who call it home.
