Planning to visit Kauai, Hawaii? The North Shore of Kauai has some of the island's most beautiful beaches, plus other attractions you will not want to miss.
Located within Ha'ena State Park at the end of the road in the north is spectacular Ke'e Beach, with views of the Na Pali cliffs. You have to stay back for sunset here!
Backpacking the Kalalau Trail, at 11 miles each way, is only for the most experienced and fittest hikers, but you can day hike a part of the trail for epic views. The trail starts at Ke'e Beach.
Hanalei Pier is a must-visit sunrise or sunset photography location, with views of the lush mountains in the distance. Snap photos of the pier from Black Pot Beach Park.
The town of Hanalei is located centrally on Kauai's north shore and is home to a historic church as well as many boutiques, galleries, and eateries. It makes for a pleasant browse.
Also in Hanalei you'll find many food trucks. Shave ice from Wishing Well Shave Ice is a refreshing treat on a hot Hawaiian afternoon. And taro donuts from Holey Grail are delicious as well!
