Pupukea is a tiny village that anchors the Seven Mile Miracle—the legendary stretch of North Shore coast that faithfully serves up some of the world's best barrels and perfectly shaped waves every winter. It’s also home to Foodland, the only grocery store between Kahuku/Laie and Haleiwa, which means you’re likely to rub elbows in the checkout line with seasoned professional surfers and visiting celebrities, along with slipper-clad locals.
