Kauai Honeymoon- Hawaii’s most beautiful paradise Island
Mahaulepu Beach: Coastal Charm near Poipu
Located near the Grand Hyatt Kauai resort, the Mahaulepu Beach Heritage Trail is a must-explore. This scenic coastal path leads you from the east end of Shipwrecks Beach along a coastline rich with natural wonders.
Discover:
-
Ancient sand dunes and stunning sandstone cliffs.
-
Fascinating lava tubes and active blowholes.
-
Isolated coves and stretches of white sand perfect for beachcombing.
This diverse landscape offers a fantastic, secluded place to discover on foot. Tread lightly as you explore this sacred part of the island.
Polihale Beach: Hawaii’s Longest Stretch of Sand
Polihale Beach and State Park sits at the very end of Highway 50 and marks the edge of the magnificent Na Pali Coast. While the final 20-minute drive along an unpaved road can be rugged, the destination is absolutely worth the effort.
This seventeen-mile stretch of pristine white sand offers:
-
Endless beachcombing and shelling fun.
-
Towering 100-foot sand dunes and unique desert cactus.
-
Remarkable sunsets over the Forbidden Isle of Niihau.
Polihale is an untouched wilderness with no resorts, offering state-provided facilities for camping and day use. (Note: The wide, soft sand can get scorching hot, so pack sandals!)
Waimea Canyon: The Grand Canyon of the Pacific
Explore this spectacular natural wonder, an easy and picturesque drive from the Poipu area. Take Route 550 through the Canyon and into Kokee State Park.
Must-See Highlights:
-
Stop at the Kalalau Valley and Puuokila Lookouts for truly breathtaking views.
-
Keep an eye out for the Nene, Hawaii’s State Bird (a type of goose found only here).
(Tip: You can continue driving west past Waimea to reach the unpaved road that leads to Polihale Beach.)
Hanalei: Old Hawaiian Charm on the North Shore
Hanalei is one of Kauai’s most charming and preserved towns, a lovely step back in time. Couples will adore exploring the quaint cafes and cooling off with a block of shave ice.
The public beach access on the East end features a wide beach popular for body surfing (rentals available in town). The nearby Hanalei Pier is famous for being a filming location for South Pacific.
Continuing west leads to smaller towns, one-lane bridges, and lovely, private beaches:
-
Tunnels Beach: Beautiful spot; look for large sea turtles frolicking in the waves.
-
Ke’e Beach: The final accessible beach, marking the start of the rugged Na Pali Coast hiking trails.
