With its lush tropical landscape, cascading waterfalls, and near-perfect weather (temps average 76-80 degrees year round), Ninole is one of the best-kept secrets of the Hamakua Coast. According to the latest census data, Ninole is home to 210 residents in 91 households and the median age is 52.
Located just north of Hakalau and south of Papa‘aloa along scenic Mamalahoa Highway, Ninole is a residential community with homes spread out along the coastline. An unincorporated town, Ninole does have its own zip code and boasts one of the smallest (and cutest) post offices in the country.
