There are four main areas in Kauai.
Each side of the island differs in terms of weather, landscape, affordability and general vibe, and one main road connects each area.
The most popular area on the island – and for good reason. You’ll find the best weather year-round, the best year-round swimming beaches. It’s also family-friendly.
The East Shore is quite commercial and the region’s most affordable hotels. It offers a variety of accommodation options, restaurants and activities for everyone.
The quietest side of the island and mostly undeveloped. There are countless opportunities to hike, spot wildlife, admire epic views and escape the daily grind here.
