Kauai North Shore Favorites for Food and Fun!

   I love Kauai! I especially love the North Shore! I was putting together a list of things to do, places to see, beaches to adore, and restaurants to enjoy for a client who just purchased on the North Shore and I realized the list would make a great blog post.

   When you plan your vacation or relocate to Princeville, Hanalei, or other areas of the North Shore of Kauai,  Here are some of my favorite places and eateries!

Lappert's ice cream in the Princeville shopping center (make sure to get a punch card)  https://www.lappertshawaii.com/

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (in the Princeville shopping center Foodland Grocery Store) http://locations.coffeebean.com/usa/princeville/princeville-center.html

Foodland Grocery Store Princeville shopping center http://www.foodland.com/stores/foodland-princeville (great deli with made to order sandwiches)

Hanalei Dolphin Restaurant on you right as you enter Hanalei. Better for dinner than lunch J http://www.hanaleidolphin.com/index.htm

Hanalei Gourmet local bar with great burgers and salads http://hanaleigourmet.com/

Hanalei Pier for Sunset (from PV to Hanalei, take any right on Aki, take a right on Weke, go as far as you can – that’s the Pier beach location)

Beaches there are great beaches everywhere, but I love Hanalei Bay at the opposite end from the Pier. If you have kiddos, you may prefer Pavilions’ which has public restrooms (on the way to the Pier). Another great one is further down Kuhio Hwy, Tunnels Beach (for snorkeling) and you must drive to Ke’e Beach at the end of the road – it is fantastic. *Ke’e beach walk to the right and look back to enjoy the Napali coastline or, for true adventurers, take the fantastic hike!

Caves by Haena State Park (near the end of Kuhio Hwy aka “the end of the road”)

Limahuli Garden is a beautiful place to go as well http://ntbg.org/gardens/limahuli.php
