Kauai offers more beach per mile of coastline
than on any of the other Hawaiian Islands. The
topography is beautiful and diverse; from protected
white sand lagoons and bays to world class surf
breaks and the rugged Na Pali coast!
North
Shore: On Kauai's north shore
you'll discover some of the most spectacular scenery
on the planet. There's the Na Pali Coast, whose
cliffs rise 4,000 feet above the ocean. And Lumahai
Beach, where Mitzi Gaynor 'washed that man right
out of her hair' in the movie South Pacific. The
north shore also is home to the quaint town of
Hanalei, one of the earliest areas to be settled
by the ancient Pacific voyagers.
East
Side: Kauai's Coconut Coast
is rich in variety. It's an ideal area to experience
the beauty of Kauai, especially with a visit to
the Wailua area with many heiaus (sacred sites),
petroglyphs, and other unique points of Hawaiian
culture. Kayaking/boating up the Wailua River
is a favorite for visitors and locals alike. Come
on and explore!
Lihue is Kauai's county seat, as well as the center
for business and transportation. Here you can
explore Kauai Museum and tour extensive exhibits
of Hawaiiana along with memorabilia from the sugar
plantation era. This area is also a great spot
for recreation. Beautiful Kalapaki Beach is perfect
for swimming and sunning. Nearby is Kauai Lagoons,
which hosts two Jack Nicklaus-designed 18-hole
golf courses and 40 acres of freshwater lagoons
and a wildlife sanctuary.
South
Shore: Kauai's south shore
is a wonderland of diversity, with excellent beaches
for swimming and snorkeling, and a wealth of historical
and scenic sites. This also is where you'll find
the National Tropical Botanical Garden, the only
garden of its kind to be chartered by Congress.
Also, be sure to visit Spouting Horn, whose natural
lava tube formations creates one of Kauai's more
spectacular locations.
West
Side: West Kauai is an remarkable
blend of spectacular natural wonders and Hawaiian
cultural landmarks. Awe-inspiring Waimea Canyon
is just the beginning. Also in Waimea is the Captain
Cook Monument, where British Captain James Cook
first landed in Hawaii in 1778.
