"Hawaii is one of the most visited destinations in the world, with nearly 10 million tourists each year, and the winter (along with summer) ranks among the best time to vacation here in large part because you can trade gloomy overcast days for near-constant sunshine. While Hawaii has four tourist-friendly islands, Kauai is the most underrated. At 552 square miles, it's also the smallest."
"It takes approximately three to four hours to drive the U-shaped road around the island, with the Na Pali Coast unreachable except by air and sea. Despite its smaller size and more laid-back atmosphere - including a rule that buildings cannot stand taller than a coconut tree, or about 50 feet - it's easy to fill your time in Kauai, especially if you enjoy beach-hopping, good food and Hawaiian culture."
"The best way to explore Kauai is to take it section by section, visiting all five of the main locations-North Shore, South Shore, East Shore, West Shore and Lihue. South Shore Kauai's South Shore features Poipu Beach Park, which is one of the best places to peep sea turtles. In fact, the park is home to the spot locals call "Sea Turtle Rest," where every night dozens of animals come in to sleep."
Hawaii receives nearly 10 million tourists annually, with winter and summer offering abundant sunshine. Kauai is the smallest and most underrated main island at 552 square miles, reachable by a three- to four-hour drive around its U-shaped road; the Na Pali Coast is accessible only by air or sea. Building heights are limited to about 50 feet, preserving a laid-back atmosphere. Kauai is best explored by visiting five main regions: North Shore, South Shore, East Shore, West Shore and Lihue. The South Shore includes Poipu Beach Park, known for nightly sea turtle resting, nearby Shipwreck Beach, and Hanapepe town with a Lilo and Stitch theme and a Friday night market.
