No. 1
KAUAI’S NAPALI COAST
We asked and you let us know. Our Facebook ohana selected Kauai’s Napali Coast as their favorite Hawaii coastline. This secluded 17-mile stretch along Kauai’s north shore provides enchanting views of boundless ocean, deep narrow valleys, and opulent green cliffs. Unlike many of Hawaii’s other coastlines, this one is accessible by land only through the Kalalau Trail, a rigorous 11-mile hiking trail. At the end of the trail, hikers get to sink their toes into the white sand of Kalalau Beach. While non-hikers cannot get to the coast in an automobile, they can enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Napali area by way of boat tours, guided kayaking trips, and air tours.
