Right before you pass Turtle Bay Resort [North Shore side] or just after the resort [Windward side] you’ll see a cluster of stands filled with color and huge amount of people surrounding them.

It truly is an experience that you don’t to miss out on. This is how to truly experience the abundance of fruit here on the island.
