Transcript: Swaying coconut palms trace the coastline on the eastern shore of Kaua’i. Known as the “Coconut Coast,” the east side is centrally located on the island with a thriving town center, numerous natural attractions, beaches, hiking, and a popular bike path. The east side has the largest population density on Kaua’i, and is equally distant to both sides of the island, making it a great base to explore a full day on either the west or north shores. “‘The Royal Coconut Coast’ was originally reserved for the ali‘i, or royalty, of the Hawaiian Kingdom.” In the distance, you’ll see the mythical Nounou Mountain range, famously known as the “Sleeping Giant,” and pass Lydgate State Park, a favorite family beach spot. Lydgate’s two protected swimming lagoons and lifeguards make it a safe location for beginners. Featuring renowned waterfalls, scenic overlooks, sacred sites and adventurous hikes, Wailuā is a noteworthy east side village where many local residents call home. These green vistas were a dominant religious and governmental center on the island, now displaying many cultural landmarks and plenty of outdoor activities. Adjacent to the road is the Wailuā River, a twenty mile long waterway that flows from one of the wettest spots on earth, Mt. Wai′ale′ale. With an average of 450 inches of rainfall per year, this mountain is one of the highest peaks on the island. “The lush backdrop of the Fern Grotto is located 2 miles upstream the Wailuā River, which is the only navigable river in Hawai’i.” Commonly accessed via river cruise or kayak, this verdant grotto is a unique geological formation, displaying a fern canopy that drapes over volcanic rock. The park also contains also contains the Wailuā Complex of Heiaus, a cluster of sacred sites that date back to prehistoric Hawai’i. Driving uphill a scenic overlook at ʻŌpaekaʻa Falls reveals a stunning view of this 151 foot high, 40 feet wide waterfall. “ʻŌpaekaʻa Falls is one of the island’s most popular and conveniently-located waterfalls.” Historic old Kapa‘a town is a vibrant destination. With diverse shops and cafes radiating from the historic town core. Bustling with shops and restaurants, old Kapa‘a town is a popular hub among both tourists and locals. Park anywhere and you are just steps from the excitement that over 100 locally businesses can offer. The streets come alive every first Saturday of the month when old Kapa‘a town businesses stay open late. Crafters, vendors, and local musicians join in on the festivities for a family-friendly good time. The first saturday event is a collaboration between local business, and the Kapa‘a Business Association also known for hosting the acclaimed coconut festival the first weekend of every October in the Kapa‘a Beach Park. The Kauai Products Fair is located in Northern Kapa’a. Local vendors, artists, and craftsmen display their unique, hand-made products. Here you can find a special keepsake to take home and remember Kauai forever. For something unique visit the Kauai Products Fair for their weekly festival. It happens every Friday from 5 to 9 and features live music, entertainment, and art. After enjoying the town center, Kealia Beach is a spectacular seaside location “Named Ka Ala Hele Makalae, or The Path Along the Coast, this paved trail offers a view of Kaua‘i’s east-side coastline.” A perfect complement to the Kapa‘a town area, this well-used multi-use pathway not only provides miles of stunning ocean views, but also meanders through the center of town. Heading northbound, you’ll pass the small village of Anahola, a designated Hawaiian Homeland area where many of native ancestry call home.
